10 percent TDS on free samples to doctors: Pharma cos reach Court, claim samples not freebies
In the light of the setback of the recent order of the government of imposing a 10% TDS to be applicable to all free samples given to doctors, pharma companies have now knocked the doors of the Karnataka High Court.
Individual pharmaceutical companies and the Karnataka Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Association have approached the High Court of Karnataka, Claiming that samples of medicines provided to doctors do not constitute 'freebies,'. They have challenged the June 16, 2022 circular issued by the Ministry of Finance by which it was directed that pharma companies have to deduct TDS (tax deduction at source) at ten percent of the value of the free samples provided by them to medical practitioners.
