TDS Return
What is TDS?
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism introduced by the Income Tax Department of India to collect taxes at the source from where an individual's income is generated. It ensures that tax is deducted from the income source itself and deposited with the government, thereby preventing tax evasion.
Importance of TDS Return
A TDS return is a quarterly statement that must be submitted to the Income Tax Department. It summarizes details of TDS deducted on various incomes such as salaries, interest earned, commission, rent, etc., and deposited with the government during a particular quarter. It is crucial for both deductors (those who deduct TDS) and deductees (those from whose income TDS is deducted) to comply with TDS provisions.
