TAN registration is an essential service for individuals, companies, and societies who are liable for tax deductions or collections while making payments and issuing TDS certificates. It is a mandatory requirement imposed by the Income Tax Department to ensure compliance with tax laws. TAN, which stands for Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number, is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code assigned to the assesses. When deducting or collecting tax, as well as issuing TDS certificates, it is crucial to quote the TAN number accurately.
TAN registration serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it enables eligible assesses to deduct or collect tax at the source as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act. Secondly, it ensures proper record-keeping and tracking of tax deductions and collections. Finally, it facilitates the filing of TDS returns on a quarterly basis, where all necessary details of the assessee for whom tax deduction or collection is made must be disclosed.
Failure to comply with TAN registration requirements can result in penalties and legal consequences. Non-compliance may lead to disallowance of expenses, fines, and potential prosecution. It is, therefore, crucial for individuals and entities to adhere to TAN registration regulations to ensure legal and smooth tax operations.
In specific scenarios, TAN registration becomes necessary. For instance, if an individual purchases a property from an NRI or resident with a value exceeding ₹50,00,000, TDS must be deducted while making the payment, and TAN registration is mandatory. This requirement ensures transparency and accountability in high-value transactions involving property transfers.
