What is TDS

Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a system introduced by Income Tax Department, where the person responsible for making specified payments such as salary, commission, professional fees, interest, rent, etc. is liable to deduct a certain percentage of tax before making payment in full to the receiver of the payment.

When should TDS be deducted and by whom?

Any person making payments specified in the Income Tax Act, is required to deduct tax at the time of making such payment. However, TDS shouldn't be deducted if the person making the payment is an individual or HUF, whose books aren't required to be audited.

Deductor: The company or person who makes the payment and deducts tax on the same is called a TDS deductor. The deductor is then supposed to deposit the tax collected with the government.

Deductee: The company or person who receives the payment, net of tax is called a deductee.
