How to deduct TDS on GST Bill

Here we will learn how to deduct TDS if we get a bill of a party(vendor) with GST and what will be the entries in this case

Sometimes we get a bill of Party with GST

We need to deduct TDS on this bill

Should we deduct TDS on Base Value (Amt before GST) or Total (Amt including GST)

As per CBDT Circular

We need to Deduct TDS on Base Value (Amt before GST) in this case

Explanation

As we know GST is Added in to the amount and TDS is deducted from Bill

So first we add GST in Amount to arrive at total amount

Then from this Total amount we deduct TDS to arrive at Net Amount

However TDS is deducted on Taxable Value (amount before GST) and Not Invoice Value (Amt Including GST)

Deducting TDS on Total amount would mean deducting Tax on Tax. hence it would lead to double taxation

Example

Supposed Bill of Advertising is of 100000=18% GST = 118000 Total

Here 100000 is Taxable Value and 118000 is Invoice Value

TDS Rate is 10%

Answer

We need to Deduct TDS on @10% of 100000 = 10000

We need to pay to the Party balance amount of 118000 - 10000 = 108000

This tax deduction is same in case we get Input Tax Credit of this GST or not
