Detailed Examination of the Items Under TDS Section 393(1) Table S.No.8(ii)

• If the securities transactions performed via stock exchanges are applicable for TDS: No one-to-one contract between sellers and buyers. For eliminating the issues, the CBDT would specify that this section does not apply to the transactions in securities (and commodities) which would be traded via acknowledged stock exchanges or cleared and settled through the acknowledged clearing corporations, along with the acknowledged stock exchanges or acknowledged clearing corporation situated in the International Financial Service Centre (IFSC).
• Electricity transactions will be subject to TDS: In the case of the State of Andhra Pradesh Vs National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) (2002) 5 SCC 203, ruled that electricity would be the movable property, but it is not real. CBDT specified that the transaction in electricity, renewal energy certificates, and energy saving certificates traded via power exchanges registered under Regulation 21 of CERC does not come under the scope of TDS under the provision of Section 194Q. Hence, the same comes under deduction on the transaction when there would be a direct buying via a company that has been involved in the generation of electricity.
• Is TDS applicable for the transaction of purchase of the software: The Finance Act 2012 incurred a clarificatory revision in the definition of Royalty provided in section 9, specifying that the usage and right to use the software would be the royalty. TDS would get applied to the royalty payment under TDS section 194J (section 393(1) Table S.No.8(ii)) or section 195 under the case. The provision of section 194Q does not applicable on which the tax is deductible under any other provision.

• TDS is to be applied to the transactions of the jewellery purchase: no condition is required for the purchase that must be linked with the business, merely. Jewellery counts as movable property and does come within the term goods. No precise exclusion exists for buying the jewellery. Tax is deductible upon buying the jewellery when the additional conditions are satisfied.

• If the GST component in the sale value is levied to TDS: CBDT explained, under 194Q, a Tax Deducted at Source would get deducted upon the credited amount along with the GST when the below-mentioned conditions would be fulfilled:
  • TDS deducted from the amount gets credited to the seller’s account.
  • GST specified in the payable amount to the seller shows separately according to the terms of the agreement or contract between buyer and seller.

When the GST amount is non-separable, TDS is required to be deducted from the complete amount.

• If the loan provided to the seller is subject to TDS: The loan furnished via the buyer would not be the payment for the purchase of the goods; the same would be left outside the provision. When the same loan amount would get settled against the value of purchase on any subsequent date, then the liability to deduct TDS will arise.
• What would be the solution for the purchase return: CBDT mentioned, as the tax needed to get deducted during the payment or credit, whichever is before, hence return occurs prior to the buying, under section 194Q, the tax should already be deducted on the same buying. When the seller would have refunded the money against the purchase of the return, TDS might adjust against the subsequent purchase from the identical seller.
