An LLP registered last year has not yet deducted or collected any TDS/TCS. The query asks about the liability to file TDS/TCS returns and the procedure. The consensus is that if no TDS/TCS was deducted or collected, there is no requirement to file returns, as a 'nil' return isn't possible in this scenario. However, it's important to note that an LLP is liable to deduct TDS on eligible payments from its first year, regardless of audit requirements.

My client is LLP has taken TAN number last year in july while LLP registration but has not deduct any TDS or collect any TCS till date. LLP is not in audit in previous year.
1.) Is there any liability to file TDS/TCS return?
2.) If yes, then can we file TDS/TCS return by ourself or do we need to go to NSDL center for return filling. What is the procedure?

1) If there is no TDS / TCS deducted or collected and not paid means, there is no need to file any TDS/TCS returns. NIL return not possible in this 2. 2) To file TDS/TCS returns either we can file with TIN-FCs or by online ourselves.

It seems that your under impression that since LLP was not under audit in previous year, No TDS/TCS Liability will arise. However this is not true. LLP is liable to for deducting tds on all the eligible payments. from first year itself whether or not it was liable for audit or not.
