The concept of TDS was introduced with an aim to collect tax from the very source of income. As per this
concept, a person (deductor) who is liable to make payment of specified nature to any other person
(deductee) shall deduct tax at source and remit the same into the account of the Central Government. The
deductee from whose income tax has been deducted at source would be entitled to get credit of the amount
so deducted on the basis of Form 26AS or TDS certificate issued by the deductor.
Rates for deduct of tax at source
Taxes shall be deducted at the rates specified in the relevant provisions of the Act or the First
Schedule to the Finance Act. However, in case of payment to non-resident persons, the withholding tax
rates specified under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements shall also be considered
- TDS Rates
- Tax Rates DTAA v. Income-tax Act
- Withholding Tax Rates
