TDS Applicability

[Guest]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is TDS applicable on reimbusement of Expenses if vendor charges service tax on reimbursement?

If it is only reimbursement of Expenses then No TDS is required. If the invoice is consolidated for service and reimbursement than TDS is applicable.

AI Summary

TDS applicability on expense reimbursements: pure reimbursements not subject to TDS, consolidated invoices attract TDS. TDS applicability depends on invoicing: pure reimbursements invoiced solely as reimbursements are not subject to TDS, whereas a consolidated invoice combining services and reimbursements renders the invoice amount subject to TDS withholding because the reimbursement is not separately identified and effectively forms part of the payment for services.
