As most of us are aware, TDS actually stands for tax deduction at source. While this is easily known to all, the concepts are not as easily understood, in fact dreaded at times too. As a subject, it is vast and you’ll need a good taxation course to become Mr./Ms. Know-it-all. Here, however, we have provided a brief outline so as to familiarize readers with the first principles.

TDS is not just an Indian tax concept. It is a global code applied everywhere in taxation. Internationally, it is usually referred to as withholding tax, i.e. tax withheld while making payments. 

The key reasons behind introduction/ existence/ levy of TDS are:

  • to provide an opportunity to the government to recover tax (or at least a part of it) upfront
  • to bring the transaction within tax ambit / network and ensuring that it gets reported eventually by the income recipient

Chapter XVII of the Indian income tax law (the Income Tax Act, 1961) deals with various provisions relating to TDS, such as:

  1. Authorizing deduction of tax at source from payments made (section 190)
  2. Specifying various types of payments to residents on which taxes have to be deducted, and rate of TDS, for example:
    • Tax on salaries to be fully deducted (section 192)
    • TDS on contractual payments @ 2% (section 194C)
    • TDS on professional payments @ 10% (section 194J), and so on.
  3. Providing the situation when taxes are required to be deducted from payments to non-residents (section 195 and others)
  4. Credit of TDS deducted by payer can be claimed by the payee against the tax liability determined on his total income (section 199)
  5. Duties of person deducting TDS, for example:
    • Requirement to obtain TAN (section 203A) and deposit TDS on time (section 200);
    • Payment of interest where TDS is not deducted on time, or after deducting is not deposited within the due date (section 201);
    • Obligation to file TDS returns (section 206) and issue TDS certificate to the payee (section 203);
    • Who is responsible for deducting tax – payer or principal officer of the company where the payer is a company (section 204); and so on.

    A lot of these sections in turn refer to Income Tax Rules where further details are provided, such as due dates, format of forms to be issued and return to be filed etc.

  6. Responsibility of payee to furnish his PAN, in absence of which payer may deduct tax at higher rate of 20% (section 206AA)
  7. Possibility of applying for a lower TDS certificate to the TDS officer where the applicable tax rate can cause hardship, for example, net income is lower, income recipient is in losses etc. (sections 195 and 197)
  8. Requirement to gross up income where TDS is to be borne by the payer (section 195A).

Hope you got a quick snapshot of TDS fundamentals from the above. For more detailed learning, you could subscribe to Super 20, a taxation coaching centre in Ahmedabad forming part of various commerce courses of varying levels – Jr. Executive, Executive, Advanced Executive.

TDS concepts may seem complex, but are very relevant for today’s business and taking up the best tax course for these would go a long way in staying tax-compliant, whether self or clients.

accounting skills you need to succeed

Every second person is now aspiring to be an accountant due to the unending demands for the same. But they can be categorized between mediocre, good and excellent. This transition will pave your way towards your goal to excel at accounting. This transition is utmost mandatory to grade up your job position or to attract more clients. If you are still wondering what skills you can work upon to get there, don’t worry. 

We shall discuss in this article the accounting skills which you must polish:

  • Knowledge

An accountant should possess thorough knowledge of how a particular transaction should be dealt with. If the company that he deals in wants to issue a Initial Public Offer and be listed with the National or Bombay Stock Exchange, the accountant should have in depth knowledge of how to proceed with that, what documents, bank requirements, the capital/sales requirements, etc. How is it going to affect the Balance sheet, Profit and loss and cash flows of the company? 

An accountant should be aware of the Indian Accounting Principles and Standards set by the Accounting Standard Boards and should also be able to apply them in the practical situation.

  • Analyze

An accountant should possess great analytical skills. He should be able to calculate the position of the company by having a glance at its Balance sheet, Cash flows and Profit and loss statements. This power of analyzing the opposite party can help the company to take their decision whether or not to deal with them. Like if their Debt to Equity ratio is more than 1, it implies the company has taken more debts than its capacity and hence riskier to work with it.

  • Audit

Brief knowledge on audit can save the company from complications later. A visionary accountant should foresee any difficulties approaching from the perspective of an auditor so that minimum issues are raised by the auditors after the balance sheet is finalized. Any extra ordinary case shall be looked into deeply as the auditor will not spare that. And its treatment should be convincing enough for the auditor.

  • Working on dead lines

Accountants should be able to work on deadlines as most of the work is associated with time lines. 

  • Vision

An accountant should be able to think strategically about a particular transaction and its affects if treated one way or the other in the long term. It most often affects the profitability of the company.

  • Adaptability

A lot of companies have gone global and multi-national. With that, accounting and taxation laws of the other countries are also taken into consideration. An accountant who is easily able to adapt to international laws and its treatment in India can go far in their career. Also, the local clients throw challenge with various fields they work in. Like Textiles, Pharmacy, Food, Construction, Jewelry, etc. The accountant should not be afraid but open to accepting challenges to work in different fields.

  • Good communication

Without good communication, one can literally land nowhere. Accountants should acquire the skill of being able to communicate verbally and non-verbally to attract, convince, interact with their clients or bosses. No one can work in isolation. Therefore, with great set of communication skills one can co-ordinate and be more organized in their field.

  • Organized

Since the accountant has lots to do and within set time limits, he will mess things up if his mind is not organized. He should be well aware of the dates and deadlines and should be able to prioritize work according to its urgency. 

  • Honesty and Integrity

An accountant is looked up to for his integrity. Even the Government hires accountants for special reports in case of fraud because they trust the accountants as their profession expects them to be honest and transparent.

  • Convincing power 

At times, deciding on how to treat a transaction may inflict a conflict within the organization or between two parties. An accountant possessing knowledge but no convincing power will be of a waste. Developing this skill will be an icing on the cake.

  • Accounting software

Along with Tally, a lot of new accounting software are launched for business automation and to reduce the clerical work of an accountant. Any small or large enterprise works on one or other accounting software like Zoho Books, Quickbooks, SAP, Saral, MProfit, etc. So, at least basic knowledge of the most used accounting software in the market should be gained to have an upper hand at any interview.

Your love for accountancy will enhance as and when you develop the above skills and for your career. Keep upgrading your knowledge as the past glory will just keep you where you are. You can join accounting coaching classes in Ahmedabad and attain the heights in the accounting profession.

 –Less: Rebate under section 87A (Max. upto Rs. 12,500/- for a person having total income upto Rs. 5,00,000/-)(12,500)
Net Tax PayableNil

The government has given various benefits under different heads of income as well as under deduction sections of the income tax act. So, even if any person is earning Rs. 10,00,000/- p.a. he need not to pay any income tax to the government.

However, if the total income of the individual is increased even by Rs. 1/- above Rs. 5,00,000/- then benefit of section 87A is not available to individual then in that case the tax amount will be increased by Rs. 12,500/- as the benefit under section 87A is not available to the individual. Moreover, the above-mentioned benefits are available to only Individual and HUF. Partnership firm or company will not be getting such benefits of slab rate or rebate or deduction under chapter VI as mentioned above.
