TDS 12607 views 9 replies

TDS for 4th Quarter of 2012-13 amounting to Rs.75000 was not deposited on or within 30-04-2013(due date); instead it has been deposited on June'13(ie, 28-06-2013 to be exact).Owing to this, interest @ 1.5% SHOULD to be deducted.However the same was not deducted.

Please advise the rate of 1.5%p.m is to be applied for  how many months for calculating the net figure of TDS.

if assessee tds not deduct  and pay on time than assessee liable to pay interest on TDS on the following rate 

from the date of deductible  to the date of actual deduction           1% per month or part of the month 

from the date of actual deduction to date of deposit                       1.5% per month or part of the month 

Asume TDS was deducted on dt-30-03-2013,.

TDS will be deposited 28-06-2013

TDS amount =Rs.75000.00

Interest=Rs.75000 X 1.5%X 3 month=Rs..3375.00

Interest is payable for 4 months (if it is deducted in March) at 1.5% per month on the TDS amount...Interest is leviable from the month od deduction of deduction irrespective of the due date of payment. 

agreed with Dibyendu,

Interest will be payable for late payment @ 1.5% for three months ie April To June

Because in june the liability was paid & hence the interest is from the due date till the date of payment of tds liability.

Hence Interest component will be Rs 75000 * 1.5% * 3months = Rs 3375 to be paid as late payment interest of tds.

for late deposit of TDS after deduction, period starts from the date tax was deducted till the date of actual payment of TDS..hence interset for 4 months should be paid..

 

H!...

Agreed With Mahavir,,,it should be 4 month(Mar, April, May and June)

As i know 1 Month means 1 Engilsh month and not a period of 30 days..

Dear Raj shome refer only vikas's answer. You should provide the date of deduction if u want us to calculate since interest is paid from the month of actual deduction (not due date) to the date of deposit @ 1.5% p.m.

1% is paid if u fail to deduct the TDS on time i.e. date at which it becomes deductible to the date it is actually deducted. 

For more clarification refer the query

spare act.. 1%interest is charged on late deduction and 1.5% is charged on late deposit... period... per month or part of month.. on late deposit.. also note .. month in which tds is deducted to the month in which tds is deposited.. is period.
