26 July 2025 Sure! Here’s a clear explanation of **TDS (Tax Deducted at Source)**:

### What is TDS?

**TDS (Tax Deducted at Source)** is a system introduced by the Income Tax Department to collect tax at the source of income itself. Instead of paying the entire tax at the end of the year, a certain percentage is deducted when the income is generated or payment is made.

---

### How does TDS work?

* When a person or company (called the **payer**) pays certain types of income (like salary, interest, rent, professional fees) to another person (called the **payee**), the payer deducts tax before making the payment.
* This deducted tax is then deposited with the government on behalf of the payee.
* The payee can claim credit for this tax when filing their income tax return.

---

### Why is TDS important?

* It helps the government collect tax regularly and prevent tax evasion.
* Ensures taxpayers pay their due taxes in a timely manner.
* Payees get a credit for tax already paid when they file their return.

---

### Common TDS rates (examples):

| Nature of Payment | TDS Rate (approximate) |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Salary | As per income tax slab (via employer) |
| Interest on securities | 10% |
| Rent | 10% or 2% depending on type |
| Professional fees | 10% |
| Contract payments | 1% to 2% |
| Payment to non-residents | 30% or as per DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) |

---

### Important points:

* If the payee’s total income is below the taxable limit, they can submit a **Form 15G/15H** to avoid TDS.
* If TDS is deducted but the actual tax liability is less, the payee can claim a refund by filing an income tax return.
* TDS deducted is reflected in Form 26AS (tax credit statement).
