How to record TDS on Purchase of Goods (Under section 194Q)

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a deduction made by an individual or a company during a payment. However, as per Finance Bill 2021, TDS has to be deducted even in case of purchase of goods, under provision 194Q. If you are a buyer, then you have to deduct TDS and pay this amount to the department. With TallyPrime, you can comply with these latest changes and record your transactions with the relevant TDS amount.

You will be eligible for deducting TDS under provision 194Q if you purchase goods worth more than Rs 50 lakhs from a single vendor in the same financial year, and if the annual turnover of your business exceeds Rs 10 crore. So, while making payments to the party or while booking the purchase invoice, whichever is earlier, you have to deduct TDS and pay the remainder of the amount. You have to deduct TDS on the amount over and above the threshold limit of 50 lakhs, and calculate tax at 0.1%, if the seller has a PAN, or at 5%, if the seller does not have a PAN. Accordingly, Tally Prime will help you in recording TDS purchases with or without inventory, by considering the required GST implications. You can keep a track of the threshold limit of the transactions and apply TDS as needed.

The latest budget changes also apply to advance payments. So, while paying in advance for a future purchase, you have to deduct the TDS amount and pay the remaining advance. With Tally Prime, you can easily record advance payments for such purchases. Apart from the above cases, you can also record TDS for purchase returns or cancellations, and also account for TDS exemption for government-listed sellers.

TDS Purchases

For ease of recording TDS purchases under provision 194Q. you have to create two TDS Nature of Payments, and configure one above the Threshold Limit (of Rs 50 lakhs) and one below the limit. You can name the Nature of Payment accordingly for easy identification. Additionally, you have to configure the purchase ledger and GST ledgers to ensure that both GST and TDS applicable, and set the TDS Nature of Payment to Any.

While recording the purchase transaction, you have to select the relevant Nature of Payment in the TDS Nature of Payment Details sub-screen. If the total value of purchases from a party crosses the Threshold Limit across transactions, you have to select the Nature of Payment configured above the Threshold Limit. On the other hand, if the total value of purchases from a party continues to be below the Threshold Limit, you have to select the Nature of Payment configured below the Threshold Limit.

You only have to enter the keyword used in the Narration to view the relevant payment entries. The Current Total value will give you an idea of the Threshold Limit.

Adjust TDS in Purchase As Per Advance Payment

If you are raising a purchase invoice that is higher or lower in value than the original advance amount, then you can adjust the TDS amount in the transaction accordingly.

When Purchase Value Is Higher Than the Advance

If the purchase invoice is higher in value than the original advance amount, then you can deduct the advance from the purchase invoice amount, and enter this balance as the Assessable Value.

For example, let us say that you had paid an advance of Rs 2 lakhs to Suma & Company and deducted TDS of Rs 200. Now you want to record a purchase invoice of Rs 5 lakhs. Accordingly, you have to enter Rs 3 lakhs as the Assessable Value, by deducting the value of the advance paid. TDS will be calculated accordingly as Rs 300.

Below are the steps to record a Purchase voucher against an advance paid to your party in the Accounting Invoice mode. Similarly, you can also record a Purchase against an advance in Item Invoice mode. With TallyPrime, you can switch between the modes interchangeably by pressing Ctrl+H (Change mode) for recording purchase, based on your requirement.

      2. For the balance amount entered in the Assessable Value:

        • Select New Ref under Type of Ref.

        • Enter the Name.

        • Select the Nature of Payment from the List of Nature of Pymt(s). The Assessable Amount and TDS will be calculated automatically.

You can press N (Back (go back to the voucher)), if you wish to make changes to the transaction before overriding without conflicts or accepting with conflicts.

When Purchase Value Is Lower Than the Advance
