# Withholding Check — TDS / VDS
Config gate + the tax plugin's absolute rule: **no rate from memory** — output the
analysis structure with `[verify current Finance Act/SRO]` tags, and populate figures
only from the config's dated Finance Act notes.
## Analysis sequence
1. **Characterise the payment** (services type, royalty, technical fee, rent, supply of
goods, dividend, interest, contractor payment) — TDS schedules key off
characterisation; mixed contracts may need splitting.
2. **Payer status:** is the payer a "specified person"/withholding entity? (Determines
both TDS obligation and VDS obligation.)
3. **Domestic leg:** TDS section + rate `[verify]`; minimum-tax character of the
deduction (many TDS heads are minimum tax for the payee — affects negotiation of
gross-up clauses); PSR (proof of return submission) collection duty from vendors.
4. **VDS leg:** is the supply within the VDS mandate list? rate/truncated base
`[verify]`; Mushak-6.6 certificate issuance; input-credit consequences.
5. **Cross-border leg (if non-resident payee):**
- ITA 2023 non-resident withholding head `[verify rate]`;
- treaty relief — check the DTAA with the payee's residence state; NBR treaty-benefit
procedure (certificate requirement) `[verify current process]`;
- **FERA/Bangladesh Bank remittance route** via AD bank — documentation set (invoice,
agreement, tax-payment proof, BB permission where the payment class needs it);
