BRIEF SUMMARY

What is TDS?

TDS is an acronym for “Tax Deducted at Source”. It is a method used by the government to collect income tax in advance as you earn money instead of waiting for you to file a tax return at the end of the year. As a small business, when you make certain payments such as salaries, rent, or payments to contractors, you must deduct a small percentage as TDS and deposit it with the government.
