TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a method of tax collection used by the government. Employers and other deductors withhold a certain portion of the income as tax from the employee or payee and remit it to the government in advance. This tax amount is deducted at the time of making payments to the recipients.
TDS returns are quarterly statements that every deductor is required to submit. These returns contain information about the tax deducted at source, the PAN numbers of the deductees, particulars of the tax collected, and details of the tax paid to the government, along with the TDS challan or receipt numbers.
Type of Forms
There are four different TDS forms used for this purpose:
- Form 24Q: This form is used for reporting TDS details from salaries.
- Form 26Q: This form is used for reporting TDS details of payments other than salaries.
- Form 27Q: This form is used for reporting TDS details from interest, dividends, and other related amounts paid to non-resident individuals or entities.
- Form 27EQ: This form is used for reporting the Statement of Tax Collected at Source. It is applicable to the deductors who collect tax at the source on specified transactions.
