Tds deduction during the first year of tax audit in case of an individual

Yes, If you got TAN

I also have same query. Our sales cross 1st time 1cr turnover in feb 2016 and we do not have TAN number hence not deducted TDS on any payment during FY 15-16. now all such expenses will get disallowed??? please advice

It won't be disallowed. You should start deducting from the next year.

@ Naresh, Why it wont be disallowed? Can you please tell to enhance my knowledge. Because I am under  impression that if tax is deductible but not deducted then the expense will be disalloed.

Thankyou.

First year of Tax Audit for existing business:
An individual is exempted from deducting TDS under section 194A/C/H/I/J, if tax audit was not applicable during the F.Y. immediately preceding the F.Y. in which income is paid/credited.

First year of Tax Audit for new business:
Tax audit was not applicable during the F.Y. immediately preceding the F.Y. in which income is paid/credited, as the business was not in existence. Hence, liability to deduct TDS in case of aforesaid sections does not arise even if the turnover crosses the threshold specified u/s 44AB during the first year of business.

Can somebody please suggest-

If any Proprietor (for his Proprietorship firm) has Auditing (for the first time) in the FY 2016-17.

Then, is it Mandatory to take TDS registration this FY 2017-18 on the basis of this factor (Auditing) alone.

thank u

it was a usefull 

Please provide , non-compliance of  TDS provisions for the first year of audit comes under which section

It is not mandatory for the proprietorship business to take TDS registration because he was audited last year. 

But, the next year if it incurs any such expenditure on which TDS is to be deducted then you will need TDS Reg. 

So, it is better to get the TDS registration done in advance.
