Company Debating TDS Deduction on Rent-Related Services: Section 194I vs. Section 194C Guidance Offered A company renting office space in Kolkata is deducting TDS on rent payments. They are also paying for tea, snacks, and lunch services provided by the landlord and seek advice on whether TDS should be deducted for these expenses. One response suggests that if these services are part of the rent agreement, TDS under Section 194I applies. If not, TDS under Section 194C applies if expenses exceed certain thresholds. Another response advises deducting TDS because service tax is included in the billing. (AI Summary)
