TDS assets

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a concept aimed at collecting Tax at every source of income. In balance sheet, it is shown in the assets section, right after the head current asset.

TDS is a mechanism aimed at collecting tax for every source of expense or payment. It is shown on liability.

Is that correct?

Maybe you are tired and need some rest. Three entries must be made against tds on salary income. 

• 1. Recording Revenue: Initially, you record the revenue earned for your services, along with the total amount due from the client.
• 2. Receiving Payment and Booking TDS Receivable: The second entry reflects the actual amount received from the client (net of TDS) and recognizes the TDS receivable as an asset.
• 3. Receiving TDS Amount: The third entry accounts for the TDS amount that will be considered as Tax paid and adjusted against your tax liability.

If I knew it I wouldn't read off the inter in vain where your information given about AFTER PAID is not clearly understandable online websites. 

So when I make a sale, the debtor cuts tds and deposits with the government at the year end. Then we have to recognise that TDS amount in current assets. Finally, do we have to 

Output TDS - Input TDS?

Your first query and Your last reply is different.

So, Ask correctly then You can get exact solution or views...

Now,

As per Your query and with my understanding...

At the year end :

If You are a deductor then its under liability...

If You are a deductee then its under Asset...

This is nice. Of course I started asking about how to recognise TDS asset and now it's not required as I'm aware of journal entries, trsheolds and rates for various tds.

So since you have mentioned that once the deductor eg. Customer or someone buying our services deducts tax and files for it on every 15th per say. So the deductee also has to include that TDS amount as asset?

How can anyone know that deductor deposited the tax amount and filed for it? 

Alright! That's over with tds. No matter if the deductor files or delays we have to recognise TDS asset immediately during the time of income and verify it through Form 16 or 16a. I understood what your explaining because sales is recognised as net of taxes (GSTR & TDS and other taxes) and discount. 

Can't understand now...

Ok! when I make income and TDS is deducted Ill make this entry
