Tax Deducted at source (TDS)

aims at collection of revenue at the very source of

income;

an indirect method of collecting tax;

combines the concepts of

Pay as you earn and

Collect as it is being earned

TDS is one of the modes of collection of taxes, by

which a certain percentage of amounts are deducted

by a person at the time of making/crediting certain

specific nature of payment to the other person and

deducted amount is remitted to the government

account.

2

What is TDS ??

Income is earned over a period of time but theassessment/

determination of tax liability takes place much later

Hence,

To avoid a liquidity problem for the tax payerand

to ensure a regular flow of revenue for thegovernment

The Income Tax Act has provided for periodic recoveryof tax from income liable to tax by requiring the tax tobe deducted at source from certain income/paymentsas and when such income/payments are credited.

3

Why TDS was conceptualized??

4

The concept of TDS is

• that the person responsible for making certain specifiedpayments

• is required to deduct tax at the prescribed rates from thepayments made to a specified recipient in accordance withthe provisions of the Income Tax Act.

It facilitates sharing of responsibility of tax collection betweenthe deductor and the tax administration. It ensures regularinflow of cash resources to the Government. It acts as apowerful instrument to prevent tax evasion as well as expands

the tax net.

Concept of TDS

Every person responsible for making payment of nature coveredby TDS provisions of Income Tax shall be responsible to deducttax.

But no TDS has to deducted if the person making the paymentis an individual or HUF whose books are not required tobe audited.

However, TDS is required to be deducted by the individual orHUF whose accounts are to be audited u/s 44AB. A person isliable to get its accounts audited u/s 44AB if during the relevantfinancial year its gross sales, turnover or gross receipts exceedsRs. 1 Crore in case of a business, or Rs 50 lacs in case of aprofession.
