TDS on salary ensures that taxes are deducted directly from your income. This could simplify tax compliance and timely payments. In this video, we’ll dive into how TDS on salary works and its impact on your finances. Your employer deducts TDS by calculating your annual salary and adjusting for exemptions and deductions. These could include those under Section 80C for investments or HRA for rent. This might ensure that the taxes are paid regularly, rather than as a lump sum at the end of the year.
We’ll also explain the role of Form 16, an essential document that provides a detailed breakdown of your income and TDS deductions. It could help you file your income tax return accurately, avoiding potential errors. Regularly reviewing your payslips might be crucial to ensure correct TDS deductions. Errors like under-deduction could lead to additional taxes with interest. Alternatively, over-deduction might result in a refund claim.
Finally, we’ll discuss strategies to reduce your TDS legally by maximising deductions through eligible investments and savings schemes. Through an understanding of TDS, you could manage your taxes effectively and optimise your take-home pay.
