What is TAN

What is TAN

What is TAN

Every business deducting TDS needs to obtainTAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number),a 10-digit alphanumeric number from the Income Tax Department and then register themselves as a deductor on the TRACES website.

Self Assessment Tax v/s Regular Assessment Tax

Self Assessment Tax

Self Assessment Tax

Self-assessment tax is calculated by the taxpayer themselves, by calculating income, deductions and exemptions. The taxpayer can file the income tax return if any TDS or advance tax is to be paid on their taxable income.

Regular Assessment Tax

Regular Assessment Tax

Regular assessment tax is calculated by the Income Tax Department during the assessment of taxpayer’s income in a financial year. If any tax is to be paid, the assessing officer raises an income tax demand, which the taxpayer must respond to and accordingly pay the taxes.

While paying income tax, you need to select 200 as the ‘type of payment’ for self-assessment tax and 400 for payment made for a demand raised by the income tax authorities.

TDS Challan 281 must be deposited by corporates and non-corporate businesses while paying TDS and TCS (Tax Collected at Source).

TDS for company deductee vs non-company deductee

While paying TDS, you need to select either of the two -

Company Deductee

(0020) Company deductee -if TDS is deducted against payment to a company or a business (i.e. Individual Sole Proprietor, Partnership Firm, HUF)

Non Company Deductees

(0021) Non-company deductee -if TDS is deducted against payment to an individual

TDS Example

Example for 
understanding TDS

Let’s say a Private Ltd. Company (Sapna) makes a vendor payment of Rs 100,000/- as office rent to a builder.

Now, Sapna Pvt. Ltd. is required to deduct & deposit TDS of Rs 10,000/- (10%) via TDS Challan 281 and make a net payment of Rs 90,000/- to the builder.
