Section 194Q: TDS on Purchase of Goods

Section 194Q requires any buyer whose total sales, gross receipts, or turnover from business exceeds ₹10 Crores in the preceding financial year to deduct TDS at 0.1% on purchase of goods from a resident seller if aggregate purchases exceed ₹50 Lakhs in the current financial year.

TDS on Basic Value (Excluding GST)

As clarified by CBDT Circular No. 13/2021, when tax is deducted at the time of credit to the seller's account, TDS is to be deducted on the amount credited without including GST if GST is separately indicated on the invoice. If advance payment is made, TDS applies on the entire gross advance.

Disallowance Penalty (Section 40(a)(ia))

If the buyer fails to deduct or deposit TDS under Section 194Q, 30% of the purchase value on which tax was deductible will be disallowed as an expense in the buyer's business income tax computation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Section 194Q apply to purchase of services?

No. Section 194Q applies strictly to the purchase of "goods". TDS on services is governed by Sections 194C, 194J, etc.

What happens if the buyer is in their first year of business operations?

Since the buyer had zero turnover in the preceding financial year, Section 194Q will not apply to the buyer. In such a scenario, the seller may collect TCS under Section 206C(1H) if the seller meets the ₹10 Cr criteria.

Does Section 194Q apply to capital goods?

Yes. Purchase of capital goods (machinery, plant, computers) by a qualifying buyer exceeding ₹50 Lakhs is subject to Section 194Q TDS.
