New TDS Provisions

Section 194194R- TDS on Providing Benefit or Perquisite to Businesses

Any person who provides perks or benefits to any resident, whether convertible into money or not, for carrying on any business or profession by such resident should deduct TDS. The person giving such benefits should deduct TDS at 10% on the value or aggregate value of such benefit

Further, it is applicable to Individuals and HUFs. And, that too when the aggregate value of the perquisite or benefit exceeds Rs. 20,000/-

Now, you may ask what was the need of inserting this Section? Well, the answer is that the insertion of Section 194R ensures that the recipient of perks or benefits does not avoid reporting such benefits as income in their ITR. Thereby, through this section, he will not be able to avoid his tax liability.

Section 194S- TDS on Virtual Digital Assets

To trace the virtual digital assets transactions, there is an insertion of a new section namely Section 194S. The rate of TDS applicable is 1% and the deduction shall be at the time of payment of any sum as consideration for the transfer of virtual digital assets. Further, the TDS shall be deducted if the aggregate value of the transfer of the virtual digital assets is more than Rs 10,000 during the relevant financial year. 

However, if any individual or HUF
– does not have income from business or profession.
– earns income from business or profession, but the income does not exceed Rs 1 crore or Rs 50 lakh, respectively.

is responsible for deducting TDS under this section if the aggregate value of the virtual digital assets exceeds Rs 50,000 during the year.

In addition to the above,  if the person makes payment:
– Partly in cash or kind, but the part payment made in cash is not enough to deduct TDS in respect of the whole of such transaction.
– Wholly in kind or for the exchange of another virtual digital asset (i.e. no payment in cash).

Then the person responsible for deducting TDS must ensure that tax is paid for consideration for the transfer of virtual digital assets and release the payment for such transactions.
