Every individual or business entity responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source is required to obtain a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN). At Mytaxwala, we make the TAN registration process quick, smooth, and completely hassle-free for you.
TAN, or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number, is a 10-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is mandatory for all entities that deduct or collect tax at source (TDS/TCS) on payments such as salaries, contractor fees, rent, professional charges, etc.
TAN is used while filing TDS returns, TCS returns, challans, and certificates. Failure to quote TAN in the required documents may lead to heavy penalties.
