https://www.taxtmi.com/forum/issue?id=994 The core issue is whether wharfage charges to a maritime board are subject to higher-rate TDS as rent/lease or lower-rate TDS as contract payments. The payer faces an assessing officer's direction to apply the higher-rate classification and to deposit any differential TDS with interest; the payee maritime board contends for the lower rate and has not provided a reduction certificate.
