About TDS
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) requires a payer to deduct income tax at the prescribed rate when making specified payments such as salary, professional fees, rent, contractor payments and interest, and deposit it with the government.
Errors in TDS lead to interest, late fees, disallowance of expenses and notices. NewStarts handles the entire cycle: TAN, correct deduction, challan payment, return filing, certificates and reconciliation with Form 26AS / AIS.
What is TDS?
TDS is a system under the Income-tax Act in which the person making a specified payment (the deductor) deducts tax at source and deposits it with the Central Government on behalf of the receiver (the deductee), who claims credit in his return.
