194H
Section 194H deals with income received as commission or brokerage. Commission or brokerage is the money earned for services rendered – not being professional services – in the process of buying / selling of goods or concerning any transaction relating to assets and valuable articles (not being securities). This section specifies that commission or brokerage does not include the insurance commission referred to in Section 194D.
Under 194H, anyone paying brokerage to a resident of India is responsible to deduct TDS on commission. Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUF), covered under Section 44AB, are required to deduct TDS on brokerage and submit it with the Income Tax Department.
Section 44AB establishes that individuals and HUFs, with a business income exceeding Rs 1 crore, have to deduct TDS on commission. The same is true if their gross receipts from the profession are above Rs 50 lakhs.
Note that 194H is not applicable when the commission amount credited during a financial year does not exceed Rs 15,000.
