15 January 2009If any Proprietor having annual income below 40 lacs in begining of financial year and not having any TAN, payments made to vendors without dedcuting any tax. If in mid of financial exceeds 40 lacs and simultaneously applies for the TAN after that on which amount tax should be deducted from vendors. Should it including past payments or liability will be only on current payments made after obtaining TAN? is any regulation exists for the same?

Your question is not very clear. But I would attempt to answer it.
TDS provisions are applicable to deductors being individuals etc. only if their annual turnover IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDEDING FINANCIAL YEAR exceeds the limits prescribed u/s 44 AB of the IT Act, ie., to say Rs.40 Lakhs in case of non professionals and Rs.10 Lakhs in the case of professionals.
In the instant case you are referring to a situation where at the beginning of a year when receipts are less than Rs. 40 Lakhs. Pl be advised that income at the beginning/mid/end will not make any sense w.r.t TDS. Any income will be for a period/year.
Pl decide the instant case on the above lines. Should you to deduct tax, it is on entire payments and on payments after obtaining TAN. Broadly a TAN application is to be made within one month from the date of deducting/collecting tax. Pl refer to Rule 114A for details
Pl keep posted your comments/queries

Ms. Seema
I am sorry I missed out "NOT ONLY" in my discussion, which caused confusion.
As already put by others, the TDS is applicable on past payments (before obtaining the TAN) also in the FY concerned.

Please can i know whether a concern once it is liable for deduction of TDS in any one of the previous financial years , whether it falls under the same provision , though if its gross turn does not exceed 40lakhs during the financial year, ( i.e whether such a expense to be Disallowed as per income tax act )

Hai,
In case the payments not exceeded threshold limit in last one or two or three quarters but exceeded later, then we have to deduct tax amount calculated on the whole amounts including earlier payments at the applicable rate from the latest payment.
Further, while filing TDS return we have to mention our earlier payments with zero tax deducted, but don’t forget to put “‘Y” flag in TDS return under “Remarks reason for non deduction / lower deduction / higher deduction / threshold”.
For more clarification ref article attached.
