TDS Decoded: Your Complete Starter Kit

What is TDS

Like paying taxes on the go, TDS in India involves deducting a portion of payments to contractors, professionals, or employees upfront so that the government gets its share and alleviates 11th-hour tax stress.

When Should TDS be Deposited

The TDS deposit deadline varies based on transaction nature and Indian tax laws. Usually, it should be deposited within a specified period from deduction, which may be monthly, quarterly, or annually.

Regular TDS Categories for Business Outflows

Payments To Contractors (TDS Under Section 194C)

TDS is added to payments made to freelancers, contractors, or subcontractors who live in India. It applies to services like:

  • Advertising services.
  • Catering services.
  • Carriage of goods & passengers by a mode other than railways.
  • Broadcasting and telecasting services.
  • Supply of labour for works contract.

Professional Fees (TDS Under Section 194J)

Businesses in India must withhold TDS when they pay their workers who live in the country, like lawyers, chartered accountants, writers, designers, consultants, and others.

  • Costs for technical services, such as consulting fees.
  • Professional fees.
  • Director's fees besides salary payments.
  • Exemptions and lower TDS rates are available.

Professional payments of less than Rs. 30,000 are not subject to TDS, but director's fees are, and there is no such limit.

Rent Payments (TDS Under Section 194I)

Section 1941 covers payments made by small businesses and startups to rent things they need for day-to-day activities, such as:

  • Building (inclusive of factory buildings).
  • Land appurtenant to any building (inclusive of factory buildings).
  • A plant like an industrial manufacturing plant.
  • Equipment like tools, computer systems, networks, other infrastructure required for running a business.
  • Machinery.
  • Any furniture or fittings.

Renters of furniture and buildings face a 10% TDS, whereas plant and machinery renters have a 2% deduction.

E-commerce (TDS Under Section 194O)

Section 194O, which was added to the Union Budget 2020, says that every e-commerce operator must take 1% TDS (or 0.75 % for FY 2020-21, which is good until March 31, 2021) of the total amount of sales made by the e-commerce member.

If an individual or HUF who lives in India does e-commerce and makes more than Rs. 5,000,000 in sales during the financial year, 1% of that amount will be taken out as TDS.

Consequences of Delayed TDS Payments

Non-Deductions

Section 201(1A) of the Income Tax Act enforces a monthly interest charge of 1.5% for both failure to deduct (from deduction date to deduction date) and delayed deposit (from deduction date to payment date) of TDS.

Non-Filling

TDS returns, which outline tax deductions at the source, are submitted quarterly by the deductor subsequent to the TDS deposit. The filing deadlines for these returns are as follows.

  • Quarter
  • April to June (Q1)
  • October to December (Q3)
  • January to March (Q4)
  • June to September (Q2)
  • Due Date
  • 31st July of the same FY
  • 31st Janurary of the same FY
  • 31st May of the same FY
  • 31st October of the same FY

Regular Assessment Tax

The Income Tax Department calculates this tax when they review the taxpayer's income for the year. If there's any tax owed, the assessing officer sends an income tax demand, prompting the taxpayer to pay the owed taxes.

What is TAN

Companies that deduct TDS must obtain a 10-digit alphanumeric TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) from the Income Tax Department. Following this, they need to register as a deductor on the TRACES website.
