TDS Provision under GST updated as on 31st Oct 2023.
INTRODUCTION: - Tax Deduction at Source (“TDS”) means that a certain registered person making payment or crediting to the supplier’s account for supply of taxable goods or services or both is required to deduct GST at source if the contract value without taxes exceeds the threshold limit. It is a statutory compliance which needs to be fulfilled by that person, as prescribed in the Act from time to time. It is a time bound process under which a person, called deductor, making payment or giving credit deducts GST at a fixed rate and deposits it with GST department while filing GST return. The deductee can take credit of deduction at source in his Electronic Cash Ledger and the same can be used for payment of tax at the time of filing GST return as per the prescribed procedure. TDS under GST Law shall be deducted as per the provision of Section 51 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, Section 21 of the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and Section 20
