What Is TDS (Tax Deducted at Source)?

TDS stands for Tax Deducted at Source. It is a system where the person making a payment deducts a portion of the payment as tax before paying the recipient. The deducted amount is then deposited with the government on behalf of the recipient.

TDS applies to various types of payments including salaries, rent, professional fees, commissions, and contractor payments. The deduction rates are set by the Income Tax Act.

Why Use a TDS Calculator?

Different payment categories attract different TDS rates. Calculating the correct TDS amount manually can be confusing, especially when payments cross threshold limits. A free online TDS calculator gives you instant, accurate results.

Incorrect TDS deductions can lead to penalties under the Income Tax Act. Using a calculator reduces the risk of calculation errors.

Who Needs to Deduct TDS?

Companies, firms, Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) with audit requirements, and individuals making specified payments above the threshold limits must deduct TDS. If you pay rent above a certain amount, or professional fees to a consultant, you are likely required to deduct TDS.

Check the applicable section of the Income Tax Act or consult a tax advisor to confirm whether you are required to deduct TDS on a specific payment.

How to Use the TDS Calculator

Enter the total payment amount and select the applicable TDS rate or section. The calculator shows the TDS amount to be deducted and the net amount that the payee will receive.

For example, for a professional fee of 50,000 rupees with a 10% TDS rate, the TDS is 5,000 rupees and the payee receives 45,000 rupees.

TDS and GST: How They Work Together

TDS under the Income Tax Act is deducted on the base amount excluding GST. The GST portion is generally not subject to income tax TDS. However, TDS under GST (TDS-GST) is a separate provision that applies to certain government-registered entities.

Always make sure to apply TDS on the correct base amount to stay compliant.
