Sir, Please tell me tds deduction on partner salary. Our firm is partnership firm. We are 3 partner each partner salary is 15000/- so we are not filing tds return FY-2012-2013 Because as per income tax act we are not cross the exemption limit. We have not register in company act & we have taken TAN Number. So please tell me TDS returns on salary filling is mandatory.

For deduction of tax under sec 192 as salary, there must exist employer and employee relationship between the payer and payee. As employer-employee relationship does not exist between a firm and partners. Therefore firm is not liable for deduction of tax u/s 192.

Partner's remuneration is covered under section 28(v) of the Income tax Act,1961 meaning thereby it has to be offered and assessed under the head 'income from business' on which tax deduction under section 192 does not apply.
