FAQ :
Approximately 40,000 taxpayers are currently under investigation for TDS compliance.
The CBDT has devised a detailed 16-step strategy that leverages data analytics to identify inconsistencies in TDS compliance.
The review covers tax deductions claimed during the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24.
The focus will be on habitual violators, cases with substantial discrepancies between tax deductions and advance tax payments, frequent revisions to deductee details, and businesses incorporating dormant or unprofitable entities in audits.
Section 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act denies deductions when TDS is either not deducted or not remitted to the government.
The government aims to simplify TDS and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) regulations, streamline TDS rates, and increase deduction thresholds to create a more efficient tax system.
