Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)

What is TDS?

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a system introduced by Income Tax Department, where person responsible for making specified payments such as salary, commission, professional fees, interest, rent, etc. is liable to deduct a certain percentage of tax before making payment in full to the receiver of the payment. As the name suggests, the concept of TDS is to deduct tax at its source.

 Let us take an example of TDS assuming the nature of payment is professional fees on which specified rate is 10%.
XYZ Ltd makes a payment of Rs 50,000/- towards professional fees to Mr. ABC, then XYZ Ltd shall deduct a tax of Rs 5,000/- and make a net payment of Rs 45,000/- (50,000/- deducted by Rs 5,000/-) to Mr. ABC. The amount of 5,000/- deducted by XYZ Ltd will be directly deposited by XYZ Ltd to the credit of the government.
In this comprehensive guide on TDS, we are answering 15 frequently asked questions by business owners. Check out..

1) What Is TAN and How to apply for TAN?
TAN stands for Tax Deduction Account Number. It is 10 digit alpha numeric number required to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax. Under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is mandatory to quote Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) allotted by the Income Tax Department (ITD) on all TDS returns. The procedure for application of TAN is very simple and can be done online by filling up Form 49B.

2) What is TDS Certificate?
TDS certificates are issued by the deductor (the person who is deducting tax) to the deductee (the person from whose payment the tax is deducted).
There are mainly two types of TDS certificates issued by the deductor.

1.    Form 16: which is issued by the employer to the employee incorporating details of tax deducted by the employer throughout the year, and

2.    Form 16A: which is issued in all cases other than salary.


For example, Mr. Gupta is working as a salaried employee at a company and tax is deducted on his salary @ 15%. The company shall provide Mr. Gupta with a Form 16 describing particulars in detail regarding the amount of salary paid and tax deducted on the same.
However, had Mr. Gupta been working as a professional and received professional fees from an organization which is subject to TDS, then he will be provided Form 16A for the same.

3) When TDS should be deducted?
The concept of TDS is based on a simple principle i.e. tax is to be deducted at the time of payment getting due or actual payment whichever is earlier. A set of scenarios for will be helpful in understanding the concept:
Say, ABC Private Limited has to make payment of Rs 50,000/- to Mr. XYZ in exchange of professional services.
Scenario 1:
Mr. XYZ was paid Rs 30,000/- in advance on 15
th July. XYZ raised invoice after completion of work on 31stJuly and rest of payment is to be made.
In such case the company should have deducted tax in the following manner:
On 15th July: Rs 3000/- (@ 10% on advance of Rs 30000/-)
On 31st July: Rs 2000/- (@ 10% of total invoice amount as deducted by tax already deducted i.e. Rs 5000/- deducted by Rs 3000/-)

Scenario 2:
Mr. XYZ raised the invoice on 15
th July and was paid whole consideration at one go on 31st July.
In such whole amount of Rs 5000/- shall be deducted on 15th July, the date when payment got due, and a net payment of Rs 45000/- shall be made on 31st July.

Scenario 3:
Mr. XYZ is to receive the whole amount of Rs 50,000/- well in advance before completion of the assignment.
In such particular case tax of Rs 5000/- shall be deducted right at the time of payment of advance and no tax is to be deducted at the time of making an entry for the bill due.
