Tax Deducted at Source or TDS is a system designed to make tax payments easier by collecting them directly from your income. In this video, we’ll break down TDS in simple terms, explaining how it works and why it’s essential. TDS is deducted at the source of your income, whether it’s your salary, interest from fixed deposits, or rent. This system ensures that taxes are paid in small amounts throughout the year rather than as a lump sum and could make tax management easier.
We’ll also explain who deducts TDS, such as employers, banks, and tenants. You’ll learn about Form 16, a crucial document issued by your employer that details your income and TDS deductions. This form helps you file your income tax return accurately and ensure you’ve paid the correct amount of tax.
TDS is intended to provide the government with a steady revenue flow while reducing the chances of tax evasion. By understanding TDS, you could take better control of your tax obligations and avoid unexpected liabilities during tax season.
