TAN (Tax Account Number) Registration

TAN or Tax Deduction and Collection Number is a mandatory 10 digit Alpha-Numeric code mandatorily obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting tax at source or collecting tax at source on behalf of the Government. The Tax deducted is required to be deposited with the Central Government quoting the TAN number. Salaried Personnel are not required to obtain TAN or deduce tax at source. However, a proprietorship business and other entities (i.e., Private Limited Company, LLP, etc.,) must deduct tax at source while making certain payment like salary, payments to contractor or sub-contractors, payment of rent exceeding Rs.1,80,000 per year, etc. On deducting tax at source, the entity registered for TAN will issue a TDS Certificate as proof of collection of tax. Specified criteria to collect and deduct tax at source are already prescribed by the Government.

To obtain TAN, an application must be made for allotment of TAN in Form 49B along with the required supporting documents. Based on the application, the TAN will be allotted to the entity and the entity must quote the TAN in all TDS/TCS returns, TDS/TCS payment challans and all TDS/TCS Certificates.
