TDS deduction liability ?

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies TDS deduction liability for assessees who underwent a tax audit last year. It addresses whether having a turnover between ₹1 to ₹2 crore and showing a net profit less than 8% or 6% under section 44AD necessitates obtaining a TAN and deducting TDS. The rationale is explained, noting that TDS liability for individuals/HUFs arises if preceding year's turnover exceeded ₹1 crore (business) or ₹50 lakh (profession), requiring TDS deduction on specified payments in the subsequent year. For companies, firms, and LLPs, TDS liability applies regardless of turnover.
