Tax Consultant Seeks Clarity on TDS Applicability for Civil Contractor with Rising Gross Receipts; Section 44AB Audit Planned. A tax consultant inquired about the applicability of TDS provisions for a civil contractor client whose gross receipts increased from INR 1.2 crore in FY 2018-19 to INR 1.9 crore in FY 2019-20. The client made payments of INR 1 crore to subcontractors in FY 2019-20 and plans to file under section 44AB for tax audit. One respondent suggested that TDS should be collected if direct payments are made to subcontractors. Another indicated that TDS deduction depends on whether the subcontractors have provided their PAN details. (AI Summary)
