GST TDS
GST TDS (Tax Deducted at Source under Goods and Services Tax) is a provision under Indian GST law where the recipient of goods or services must deduct a specified percentage from the payment to the supplier and remit it to the tax department. GST TDS is applicable only when the total value of such supply, under an individual contract, exceeds ₹2.5 lakh. The GST TDS rate is 2% (1% CGST + 1% SGST for intra-state transactions and 2% IGST for inter-state transactions).
Scenario: A government department contracts a supplier for services worth ₹2,50,000. As per GST TDS rules, 2% is deducted, amounting to ₹5,000. The supplier receives ₹2,45,000. This can be recorded in Zoho Invoice by creating a transaction with a payment of ₹2,45,000 and applying ₹5,000 as GST TDS.
