Handy Tips

The TDS rates are subject to change as per government guidelines. Refer to the

for the latest TDS updates.

TDS is calculated on the invoice subtotal, that is, the invoice amount without GST, cess and other taxes.

Invoice amount - (GST + Cess + Other Taxes) = Invoice Subtotal.

We calculate the TDS and add it to the running balance of Auto TDS. The time at which TDS gets added to the Auto TDS balance depends on the date of deduction.

To understand the difference between the dates of deduction, refer to the examples given below.

If the invoice is dated to 15th December, 2022 and paid on 15th January, 2023; the TDS will be paid after the payment, i.e. 4th February, 2023.

If the invoice is dated to 15th December, 2022 and paid on 15th January, 2023; the TDS will be paid on 4th January, 2023, based on the date of the invoice, irrespective of when the payment is made.

Handy Tips

As per the government norms, the TDS rates are reduced by 25% till the end of FY21.
