Form 24Q- TDS Return On Salary Payment
Employers have several responsibilities towards their employees who are working for their organization. One specific task is deducting a portion of an employee's salary for income tax, known as Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). To do this properly, employers need to fill out a form called Form 24Q.
What is Form 24Q?
Form 24Q is a specific type of TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) return form used in India. It is instrumental in reporting critical details related to salary payments and the TDS deductions from employee salaries. Now the question arises: Who can deduct TDS on salaries?
TDS is deducted by employers who make salary payments to their employees. However, if the employee's total income is up to Rs. 5,00,000/- [under old regime] & Rs.7,00,000/- [under new regime], TDS is not required to be deducted.
Specifically, the below entities are liable to deduct TDS on salaries:
-
Companies and Organizations
Private companies, government organizations, non-profit entities, and other institutions are responsible for deducting the TDS from the salaries they pay to their employees.
-
Individuals
Sometimes, individuals who are not employers but pay employees or professionals can also be responsible for deducting TDS on salaries.
-
HUFs (Hindu Undivided Families)
Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), if they have individuals on their payroll and make salary payments to them.
-
Partnership Firms
Partnership firms that have employees on their payroll are also obligated to deduct TDS.
