S (the supplier) raised invoice upon P( the purchaser) for an amount that includes price of the goods supplied and the charges that S has to pay to T (the transporter) for transportation of the goods to P. The transportation charges are just recovered by P from S on behalf of T and the transportation bill raised by T on S is also enclosed with the invoice given by S to P.
Should P deduct TDS under contact from the amount given to the S towards payment and reimbursement of freight on behalf of T. In my opinion the tax should be deducted by P on its payment to T and noy by P. Please reply
opinion
