Payment for IUC Charges is not chargeable to tax in India in the hands of the non-resident recipients and hence TDS was not deductible as per provisions of section 195 of the Act.
Whether TDS is deductible u/s 194C or 194J is always a matter of concern in day to day business world. Today an attempt has been made to provide the basis to reduce such concern. The write-up can be summed up in following parts: 1. Payment to Contractors – Section 194C 2. Fee for professional or technical services – Section 194J 3. Discussion on some clarification by department 4. Court Rulings 5. Conclusion
Roaming services are provided by telecom operators are in the nature of use of standard facilities, which do not require any human interface. Further, since the roaming charges are not paid for rendering managerial, technical or consultancy services, said services cannot be construed as fees for technical series as defined under provisions of section 194J of the Act. Therefore, the assessee is not required to deduct tax at source on such roaming charges.
The CIT (A) has failed to understand that your appellant was not under any legal obligation to effect TDS on purchase of Computer Software in F.Y. 2011-12 as these were considered as purchase of goods under the then existing provisions of law and subjected to customs duty. Purchase of computer software was brought under the definition of Royalty vide the Finance Act 2012 with retrospective effect.
Hiring of vehicles does not fall within the ambit of Section 194C of the Act. From 01.06.2007 definitely deduction would have to be made at source even for hiring of vehicles as Section 194-I of the Act stands amended to bring in such transactions also.
As such, the assessee cannot be treated as the assessee in default in not deducting tax at source under section 194J of the Act. The arguments of the revenue that the fees paid by the assessee is towards technical services is imaginary one not established with substantial material.
Since assessee had made provision for audit fees to account of payee, provisions of section 194J were clearly attracted and non-deduction of tax at source would automatically invite disallowance under section 40(a)(ia).
