29D. (1) The declaration under the second proviso to clause (i) of sub-section (3) of section 194C by a sub-contractor shall be in Form No. 15-I and shall be verified in the manner indicated therein by such sub-contractor.
(3) The particulars under the third proviso to clause (i) of sub-section (3) of section 194C to be furnished by a contractor responsible for paying any sum to such sub-contractor shall be in Form No. 15J.
Section 194C covers the TDS that is deducted from specific payments made to contractors and subcontractors. Hence, a proper and detailed understanding of the section is required to avoid future unseen problems in your business. Let us understand further.
Subcontractor means a person who engages in a contractual agreement with the contractor to perform, or provide labor for the execution of all or a portion of the work undertaken by the contractor under a contract with any of the authorities, or to supply labor, in whole or in part, as specified in the contractor's agreement with any of the authorities mentioned in this section.
To compute TDS accurately, it is essential to consider the invoice value, excluding any amounts related to the purchase or sale of materials or goods. Focus solely on the service component, excluding any value associated with goods. When calculating the TDS amount under section 194C, keep the following points in mind:
Section 194C covers the supply of labour also. Payments to recruitment agencies are in the nature of payment for services. Accordingly, provisions of section 194C shall not apply. The payment will, however, be subject to TDS under section 194J of the Act.
