Asked 5 years ago in Income Tax

There are two sections to deduct TDS on advertising one u/s 194J and second u/s 194C.

194J is applicable when you give an amount to professional to prepare advertisement for you and 194C is applicable only when you make a contract with a person to publish your advertisement.

Based on the above details I would suggest to deduct TDS u/s 194J for 1.

And rest all in 194C.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hello,

 

TDS on all the payments would be under section 194C at 1%(Individual/HUF) or 2%(others)

I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.
