Who is Eligible for TDS Return? Employers and organisations with a valid TAN are qualified for filing TDS returns. Individuals whose accounts are audited under Section 44AB, and hold an office under the government or companies are liable to file online TDS returns every quarter.
A Regular TDS Return is mandatory for organizations that have deducted TDS on payments like salaries, professional charges, hire, hobby, or contractor payments. It should be filed in each area in Form 24Q, 26Q, or 27Q, depending on the type of price.
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) are fundamental components of Indian taxation. TDS represents the tax deducted from payments made when the amount exceeds a set limit. Conversely, TCS refers to the tax collected by sellers during transactions with buyers.
