————Answer MCQ Self Challenge # 0058———–

 

Dear Professional Seniors & Friends,

Warm Greetings!

 

This post of MCQ is on provisions relating to disallowance of expenses where TDS is not deducted.

 

Answer to MCQ 58.1: C) Indian co. needs to deduct TDS on Rs 25000, failing which amount of Rs 25,000 will be disallowed.

 

Answer to MCQ 58.2: D) Indian co. needs to deduct TDS on Rs 1,00,000, failing which amount of Rs 30,000 will be disallowed.

 

Practical Analysis for MCQ 58.1:-

  1. As per Section 195 of ITA, TDS is required to be deducted in case of payments to non resident on the sum which is chargeable to income tax.
  2. So in our question, TDS is required to be deducted on Rs 25,000(sum chargeable to income tax).
  3. As per Section 40(a)(i) of Income Tax Act, deduction of expenses paid outside India or to a non resident will not be allowed if the sum is chargeable to income tax and upon which tax has not been deducted by the deductor.
  4. Now doubts have been raised about the interpretation of the term “other sum chargeable” for the purpose of disallowance under Section 40(a)(i).
  5. CBDT vide circular No. 3/2015 dtd 12/02/2015 clarifies that for the purpose of making disallowance of “other sum chargeable” under section 40(a)(i) of the act, the appropriate portion of the sum which is chargeable to tax under the Act shall form the basis of such disallowance and not the entire amount payable shall be disallowed.

 

Based on the above analysis, correct answer MCQ 58.1: C) Indian co. needs to deduct TDS on Rs 25000, failing which amount of Rs 25,000 will be disallowed.

 

Practical Analysis for MCQ 58.2:-

  1. As per Section 40(a)(ia) of Income Tax Act, deduction of expenses paid to a resident will not be allowed if the sum is chargeable to income tax and upon which tax has not been deducted by the deductor.
  2. Disallowance will be 30% of sum in case of amount payable to resident.

 

Based on the above analysis, correct answer MCQ 58.2: D) Indian co. needs to deduct TDS on Rs 1,00,000 failing which amount of Rs 30,000 will be disallowed.

 

(Disclaimer: The objective of the MCQ post is just to discuss the concept, it may happen, by change of facts, the answer may be different. Please do not treat this as professional opinion; you can definitely have your own opinion.)
