Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) is a system, initially introduced by the Income Tax Department. It is one of the modes/methods to collect tax, under which, certain percentage of amount is deducted by arecipient at the time of making payment to the supplier.
Who is a Tax Deductor? A department or an establishment of the Central Government or State Government; or Local authority; or Governmental agencies; or Such persons or category of persons as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council.
When to deduct tax at source? DDO is liable to deduct tax from the payment of the supplier when the total value of supply of good / services or both under a Contract, payable to the Supplier exceeds Rs.2.5 lakhs
Rate of Tax for deduction of tax at source For intra-state supply: 1% as CGST & 1% as SGST (both to be deducted) For inter state supply: 2% IGST (In place of CGST & SGST)
Determination of value of supply
Determination of value of supply No deduction shall be made if the location of the supplier and the place of supply is in a State which is different from the State of registration of the recipient. Supplier, place of supply and recipient - in the same state : supply (CGST & SGST) Intra-State Supplier & place of supply - in different states: Inter-State supply (IGST) Supplier & place of supply in State A - recipient in State B: The supply would be intra-state supply (CGST & SGST leviable) But transfer of TDS (CGST & SGST of State B) to the cash ledger of the supplier (CGST & SGST of Statet A) would be difficult. So in such cases, TDS would not be deducted. Hence, when both the supplier as well as the place of supply are Hence, when both the supplier as well as the place of supply are different from that of the recipient, no tax deduction at source would be made.
