Deduction of TDS and Vat Liability

[Asked by Guest]

My Company is executing a civil job in State of AP (a project of constructing a building for a power project). The billing with my customer is on milestone basis (i.e. Billing is on % completion of building). How would the customer deduct TDS on my final billing. Further how to take care of VAT liability on selling point.

TDS is required to be deducted on amount credited or paid basis. So the customer is required to deduct TDS as per the basis of treatment in his books of account.
