Frequently Asked Questions
- At what point does tax get deducted at the source?
Tax deduction at the point of income generation is incorporated into the Income-tax Law to ensure quick and efficient collection of taxes. Known as “Tax Deducted at Source”, this system is based on the deduction of taxes at source. The payer deducts tax at the source of the income and remits it to the Government on behalf of the payee.
In addition to salary, interest, commission, brokerage, professional fees, royalty payments, contract payments, and so on, the deduction of tax at source provisions applies to any payments. When the TDS provisions apply to payments, the payer must deduct tax at source from the payments he makes, and he must deposit the tax deducted to the Government’s credit. - Are there any individuals who need to file Form 15CA?
