GST TDS Rate - Applicability and Procedure for Deduction
Tax Deduction at Source or TDS is a tax collection system wherein the tax liability is paid in part by the recipient of the goods or service at the time of making payment to the supplier. TDS ensures that the responsibility for payment of GST is shared by both the supplier and recipient for certain transactions. Hence, TDS ensures regular cash flow to the Government, introduces checks and balances, prevents tax evasion and increases tax base. GST also has provisions for TDS similar to the provisions for TDS under Income Tax Act. In this article, we look at TDS under GST and the applicable GST TDS rate.GST TDS Applicability in India
Regular taxpayers under GST are not required to deduct tax at source while making GST payments. Only the following types of taxpayers are required to comply with GST TDS provisions:- Department or an establishment of the Central Government or State Government;
- Local authority;
- Governmental Agencies;
- Any other persons or category of persons as notified by the Government on the recommendations of the GST Council.
GST TDS Rate
GST TDS should be deducted at 1% of the payment made to the supplier of taxable goods or services or both. GST TDS should be deducted only if the taxable value of supply under a contract exceeds Rs.2,50,000. While calculating the taxable value of supply, the applicable amount of IGST, CGST, SGST and GST Cess is not taken into consideration. Also, while considering the applicability of GST TDS, its important to consider the contract value rather than the value of individual bills. If the total contract value is more than Rs.2.5 lakhs, then GST TDS would be applicable, irrespective of value of individual tax invoices. Finally, GST would be applicable only if the supplier and the place of supply are in the same State or Union Territory. If the location of the supplier and the place of supply is in a State or Union Territory which is different, then GST TDS should not be deducted.

GST TDS should be deposited to the Government account by the deductor by 10th of every month. If GST TDS is not deposited, penalty would be levied as interest on the amount of tax deducted and not deposited. Further, all GST TDS Deductors are required to issue a GST TDS certificate in Form GSTR-71 to the supplier, within 5 days of crediting the amount to the Government. If GST TDS certificate is issued within 5 days of crediting the amount to the Government, then the GST TDS deductor would be liable for payment of late fee of Rs. 100/- per day from the expiry of the 5th day till the certificate is issued. This GST TDS certificate late fee penalty is capped at Rs. 5000/-.
