Guide to Online TDS Payment
TDS, or Tax Deducted at Source, is a method used by the Government of India to collect Income Tax. The TDS method ensures that the government gets income tax from the assessee at the moment of transaction, reducing the risk of tax default and ensuring prompt tax collection. TDS and Online TDS Payment are discussed in depth in this article.
TDS Payment
The person paying the income deducts TDS. As a result, the tax is deducted from the source of income. The tax deducted is subsequently placed into the income tax department account on behalf of the payment received as a TDS payment by the payer of the income. As a result, the TDS payment is assumed to be a payment of income tax by the recipient at the time of his assessment.
