TDS Basics:
Definition: Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a means of collecting income tax in India, under the Income Tax Act of 1961.
Purpose: It ensures that tax is deducted at the very source of income, making it easier for the government to collect taxes and reduce tax evasion.
How It Works:
Deduction: The entity making the payment (deductor) deducts tax at the prescribed rate from the amount being paid to the recipient (deductee).
Deposit: The deducted amount is then deposited with the Income Tax Department.
TDS Rates:
TDS rates vary based on the type of income and the recipient’s status (resident or non-resident). For instance, salaries have different rates compared to interest on bank deposits.
TDS Forms:
Claiming TDS:
The deductee can claim the TDS amount as a credit against their final tax liability while filing their income tax return.
TDS helps streamline tax collection and ensures a steady inflow of revenue for the government throughout the year. It also simplifies the tax payment process for taxpayers by deducting tax at the source of income.
