This discussion clarifies TDS obligations for professionals. If your annual turnover is under £50 lakhs but you pay rent exceeding £50,000 per month, you are required to deduct TDS at 5% under Section 194IB of the Income Tax Act. The deducted TDS can be deposited once annually, typically from the rent paid in the last month of the financial year.
