1 TAX DEDUCTED AT SOURCE (TDS)

2 INDEX Introduction Payments covered under the scheme of TDS.
Provisions for filing Returns to the Income Tax Department. Effects of Tax Evasion

3 Introduction To avoid cases of tax evasion, the Income-Tax Act has made provisions to collect tax at source on accrual of income. Cases included in the scheme are, generally, those where income can be computed at the time of accrual of income. Under this scheme, persons responsible for making payment of income covered by the scheme are responsible to deduct tax at source and deposit the same to the Government’s treasury within the stipulated time. The recipient of income—though he gets only the net amount (after deduction of tax at source)—is liable to tax on the gross amount and the amount deducted at source is adjusted against his final tax liability. The details of the scheme of tax deduction and collection at source are briefly discussed in this presentation. To conclude one can say that the scheme of TDS is only payment of tax on adhoc basis by the payer of income on behalf of recipient.

35 Case Study 1 FACTS An assessee employer is liable to deducted tax at source under section 192. Deduction of tax of the employees was not uniform during the year; very negligible in the initial months and high amount in the last months. AO passed order levying interest under section 201(1A) on the grounds that tax was not properly deducted.

36 Case Study 1 ISSUES Whether the Assessing Officer has rightly levied interest on non-uniformity of TDS deducted? CASE LAWS Vinsons v. ITO, 89 ITD 267 (Mum) Grasim Industries Ltd. v. ITO, 92 TTJ 944 (Jodh) Secy. Board Of Secondary Education, Rajasthan v. ITO, 93 TTJ 256 (Jaipur) 192(3)

38 Case Study 2 ISSUES Is the AO’s order justified in treating the assessee as ‘assessee in default’ and levy interest u/s 201(1A)? CASE LAWS DCIT v.

Against this the client recovers the principal + interest amount and thus G Ltd. does not actually pay any interest. Since no direct payment of interest made, NO TDS deducted.

40 Case Study 3 ISSUES Is the contention of assessee correct?
Whether tax is required to be deducted at source under section 194A- ‘Interest other than interest on securities’? What are the other implications of such non-deduction? CASE LAWS Raymond Limited V. DCIT 86 ITD 791. Kanchanganga Sea Foods Ltd. v. CIT 265 ITR 644
