(ii)Sale of motor car by an authorized dealer and the price of car is ₹ 8,90,000.

(iv)Commission paid by a company for purchase of machine to agent X & Co. ₹ 10,000.

(i)On sale of scrap, Tax is Collectible at Source ‘TCS’ @ 1% u/s 206C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(ii)Sale of motar car is liable for Tax Collection at Source (TCS) only when sale consideration exceeds ₹ 10 lakhs. In this case the sale consideration is ₹ 8.90 lakhs i.e. less than ₹ 10 lakhs and therefore no TCS is attracted.
(iii)In case of partnership firm pays rent exceeding ₹ 1.80 lakhs, it is liable for tax deduction u/s 194I of the Income Tax Act, 1961@ 10% irrespective of the fact that the payment is made to partner or outsider.

(iv)As per Section 194 (H) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 commission paid by a company is liable for tax deduction when the commission payments exceed ₹ 15,000.

(v)Interest paid by the partnership firm exceeding ₹ 5,000 is liable for TDS @ 10% u/s 194A of the Income tax Act, 1961. Therefore, interest paid by Lalwani & Co.
(firm)to Ravi (a resident) ₹ 7,000 is liable for tax deduction at source ‘TDS’ as
the payment exceeds the threshold limit.
