TDS on sales commission

This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of sales commissions. While sales commission is generally considered part of salary and subject to TDS, it can be eligible for a refund if your total taxable income falls below certain thresholds, such as Rs 5 lakh, and you qualify for rebate under Section 87A. Ensure you declare all commission income in your Income Tax Return (ITR) and correctly claim the TDS deducted against your tax liability; any excess can then be claimed as a refund.
