TDS Advisory And Filing
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) compliance is a crucial aspect of the Indian income tax system under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, of 1961. It places responsibilities on entities making specified payments to deduct a predetermined percentage of tax at the source before disbursing funds to the payee. To ensure TDS compliance, businesses and individuals must obtain a TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) and deduct TDS at the prescribed rates while making payments such as salary, interest, rent, and professional fees. The deducted amount must be deposited promptly with the government using designated challans. Additionally, quarterly TDS returns must be filed, detailing the TDS deductions made and the corresponding deposits. TDS certificates, such as Form 16 for salary TDS, must be issued to the recipients within the stipulated time.
The compliance process demands accuracy in TDS deduction rates, timely submissions, and adherence to prescribed guidelines. Non-compliance may lead to penalties and legal repercussions. Regular audits and a proactive approach to TDS compliance are essential for businesses and individuals alike to meet their statutory obligations and maintain financial integrity.
