Meaning of TDS in Accounting
The conception of TDS was introduced with the end of collecting duty from the veritable source of income. As per this conception, a person( deductor) who’s liable to make payment of a specified nature to any other person( deductee) shall abate duty at source and remit the same into the account of the Central Government. The deductee whose income duty has been subtracted at source would be entitled to get a credit of the quantum so deducted on the base of Form 26AS or the TDS instrument issued by the deductor.
Rates of TDS in Accounting
Taxes shall be subtracted at the rates specified in the applicable vittles of the Act or the First Schedule to the Finance Act. Still, in the case of payment to non-resident persons, the withholding duty rates specified under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements shall also be considered
