Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a common query regarding Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on office rent payments. The core issue is when TDS should be deducted, especially when rent for February and March 2022 was paid in May 2022. Experts clarify that TDS is deductible at the time of payment or when the rent becomes due, whichever is earlier. This means the owner's request to account for the tax in the 2021-22 financial year is correct, requiring a revision of the Q4 TDS return.

Actually TDS should be deducted when it is paid or due, whichever is earlier.

So, the owner is correct. You need to rectify your Q4 TDS return.
