Guide

TDS Return Filing: what you should know

What TDS compliance involves

Anyone who makes specified payments such as salary, rent, professional fees or contractor payments must deduct tax at source at the rates prescribed, deposit it with the government by the due date and file a quarterly TDS return. You must also issue TDS certificates to the people from whom you deducted.

You need a TAN to deduct and deposit TDS.

Quarterly returns and due dates

Salary returns are filed in Form 24Q and non-salary resident payments in Form 26Q, with 27Q for payments to non-residents. Returns are due quarterly, generally by the end of the month following the quarter, with the final quarter dates differing. Deposit of TDS is generally due by the 7th of the following month.

The cost of getting it wrong

Late deduction or deposit attracts interest. Late filing attracts a daily fee, and failure to deduct can disallow the expense in your own return. Mismatches between your return and the deductee's Form 26AS cause credit problems for them, so correct data matters.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Deducting at the wrong section or rate
  • Missing PAN of the deductee and deducting at a higher rate
  • Depositing late
  • Filing with wrong challan details
General information based on the law as we understand it today. Rules, rates and due dates change, so confirm your own case with a Chartered Accountant.
