The income-tax department on Thursday carried out surveys on major Hospitals in Mumbai to verify whether they were complying with the provisions of tax deducted at source (TDS) under the Income-Tax Act. Six high-end hospitals in South Mumbai and sub
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to offer any immediate relief to Vodafone, which has challenged the Bombay High Court order allowing the government to tax the company’s $11 billion deal with Hutch. The tax department had raised a demand for Rs 12,000 crore (Rs 120 billion) as tax on the 2007 deal. While refusing to stay the high court order, the apex court issued notices to the tax authorities directing them to decide within four weeks the liabilities of Vodafone.
By majority opinion, the Tribunal found that the assessee cannot claim any credit for the TDS on the income which is not offered for taxation. The Tribunal further found that the benefit for the TDS is to be allowed as per the provisions of the Income-tax Act u/s. 199.

The Supreme Court has directed the Income Tax department to freshly decide the issue on whether telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone would have to deduct TDS while paying BSNL for sharing network of the state-owned firm.

T.D.S means the Tax deducted at source. Whenever a person liable to deduct tax of another person under Income Tax Act, deducts tax, the credit of such tax is given to the deductee when his liability to pay income tax is calculated. Such credit is given on the basis of the information given by the deductor to the Income Tax Department by way of filing his T.D.S statements, wherein the full detail about the tax deducted, the PAN No of deductee etc are given, so that the right credit of T.D.S can be given to the deductee.
Tax deducted at source (TDS) has become a problematic issue with the income tax department as in more than 50% TDS refund cases it is facing an uphill task in matching the data provided in the assessee’s income tax returns with the TDS deductor’s information available with the NSDL.
The assessee made payments to sub-contractors during the previous year and though s. 194C requires TDS at the stage of payment/credit, did not do so. The tax was, however, deducted on 31st March and paid over in Sept before the due date for filing the return. The AO took the view that while the payment made to the sub-contractor for March was allowable, the payments for the earlier months was disallowable u/s 40(a)(ia).
The contract may be in writing or it may be oral but the liability to pay tax arises when the recipient of the said amount receives payment in excess of Rs. 20,000.
