Now we are the Partnership firm on which amount we have to deduct TDS . Please give me clarification
Partnership Firm Advised to Deduct TDS on Total Invoice Excluding Service Tax for Payments to Custom House Agent A partnership firm inquired about the correct method for deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on payments made to a Custom House Agent (CHA) for various services. The consensus among respondents was to deduct TDS on the total invoice amount, excluding service tax. If the invoice includes charges like clearing and forwarding, terminal handling, and transportation, these are considered reimbursements and may not require TDS deduction unless unsupported by documentation. To ensure compliance, it was advised to deduct TDS on the entire invoice value, excluding service tax, and issue a TDS certificate for the service provider's benefit. (AI Summary)
