If I install a landline connection and initially pay some security, after that am I liable to pay ..

Answer / abhivirthi

Payment of Security amount towards landline telephone
connection is only advance payment of one month rental which
is refundable at the time of surrender of landline telephone
connection. Hence this will not attract any tax liability
under any Act.

Payment of telephone bills for call charges including
rentals are only services provided and service charges will
be applicable for the services rendered. The telephone
provided for usage will have to be returned at the time of
surrender of telephone connection and hence there is no
transfer of property involved and no sales tax will be
applicable as there is no transfer of property involved.

I run a small consultancy firm (partnership with my mother) from my residence address. My firm is not registered, but I do have a separate PAN for it. I do not have any salaried employees. I get work done by freelancers and vendors and pay them against invoice. My annual revenues are just about Rs 5-6 lakhs. I am aware that I would need to register for service tax once I touch Rs 9 lakhs. But I am confused about my obligation to get a TAN and deduct TDS for all vendor/freelancer payments. Are there any minimum thresholds for withholding TDS? Right now I pay 100% of invoice amounts. Please advise.
