Sterling Tax Partners TDS Services

The TDS scheme deducts a portion of an individual’s income at the time of payment and remits it directly to the government. As a responsible TDS service provider in Gurgaon, we recognize that anyone who makes payments such as salary, interest, rent, commission, or professional fees is required to deduct TDS.

TDS is managed by India’s Income Tax Department and governed by the Income Tax Act of 1961. Tax is deducted at the source to ensure that all individuals pay their taxes on time and efficiently. It is a method used by the government to collect taxes in advance for the assessee’s income.

What is TDS

What is tax deducted at Source, Tax deducted at source is tax deducted by a person while making the payment to the recipient. TDS makes sure tax flows to the government as and when transactions happen.

TDS is applicable on the specified nature of the transaction i.e. Salary, interest, rent, professional fees, contract fees, Commission, dividend, etc. TDS never exempts a person from filing their Income tax return. Every person has to file the return income tax return if the income of that person exceeds the threshold limit as specified in law.

Why Tax Deduction

  • It avoids tax evasion, the liability to pay the TDS is always on the payer instead of the receiver.
  • The government gets the tax throughout the year as and when transactions happen and need not wait for a whole year.
  • Taxpayers pay the tax gradually instead of making an impact on cash flow at one time.

How much is the Penalty for delaying the TDS return?

In case the assesse fails to file within this deadline of TDS return then they would be liable to pay ₹ 200 per day as a penalty U/S 234E, but the same would not be more than the amount of TDS payable.

  • Pay late fees and interest if payable to the government.
  • File the TDS return within one year from the due date.
