The TDS stands for the Tax Deducted at Source. As per the Income Tax Act, any company or person making a payment is required to deduct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) if the payment exceeds certain threshold limits. TDS needs to be deducted at the rates prescribed by the tax department.

Provisions for TDS on Purchase of Goods Under Section 194Q

In the Budget 2021-22, the Finance Minister introduced a new section in the Finance Act, 2020 namely Section 194Q according to which now TDS shall have to be deducted on Purchase of Goods as well.

 

Section 194Q says: ‘Any person, being a buyer who is responsible for paying any sum to any resident (hereafter in this section referred to as the seller) for purchase of any goods of the value or aggregate of such value exceeding 50 lakh rupees in any previous year, shall, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the seller or at the time of payment thereof by any mode, whichever is earlier, deduct an amount equal to 0.1%. of such sum exceeding fifty lakh rupees as income-tax.’

Applicability of Section 194Q for TDS

Under Section 194Q TDS shall be deducted when:

  • The goods have been purchased from a resident seller.
  • Goods purchased for a value or aggregate of value exceeding Rs. 50 lakhs in any previous year.
  • The turnover of the purchaser shall be more than INR 10 crores in the previous Financial year. For e.g. If you wish to check the applicability of new provisions of TDS under Section 194Q for FY 2021-22, turnover for the purchaser during Financial Year 2020-21 shall be more than INR 10 Crores.
