Hi everyone, I’m currently pursuing the Chartered Accountant (CA) course in India, and I have a doubt regarding the taxation module. Can anyone help me understand the concept of tax deducted at source (TDS) in a simplified way? I find it a bit confusing. Thanks in advance!
November 2, 2023 at 10:31 am #6685TDS is basically a method of collecting income tax at the source of income itself. For example, if you receive a salary, your employer deducts a certain amount of tax from your salary before paying you. This ensures that income tax is collected in a timely manner and prevents tax evasion.
November 2, 2023 at 10:32 am #6687Hey there! TDS is like a prepayment of your income tax. If you earn any income that is subject to TDS, the person or entity paying you the income deducts a percentage of it as tax and pays the remaining amount to you. The deducted tax is then deposited with the government on your behalf. Hope that helps!
