TAN i.e. Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is a 10 digit alphanumeric number, e.g. DELM12345L, required to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting tax at source or collecting tax at source.
It is compulsory to quote TAN in TDS/TCS return (including any e-TDS/TCS return), any TDS/TCS payment challan, TDS/TCS certificates, Annual Information Return and other documents as may be prescribed.
The first four TAN digits are alphabets, the next five are binary, and the final digit is an alphabet.
The first three alphabets stand for the authority codes.
The initial alphabet represents the TAN holder's name, which can be that of a person, business, or other entity, and is represented by the fourth alphabet of the TAN.
1. Mandatory to quote
It is mandatory to quote TAN on TDS returns and challans. It is also required to be quoted in all correspondences with the IT Department.
2. Validity
Once a TAN is issued, it is valid for lifetime. However, TDS Filings must be made quarterly on the 31st day of July, October, January, and May. Non-filing of TDS filings within the due date will attract a penalty.
3. Multiple TAN
You can have multiple TAN for a single PAN. You can apply for different TAN for different branches of the same company.
It is a lifetime-valid unique number.
In the end, deductions including wages, interest, and dividends are made using TAN.
When submitting taxes, the challan type 281 should be used, and the deductor's name and address should be appropriately typed together with the 10 digit TAN number.
Because TDS Return certificates are given by a person or business that holds TAN, the taxpayer has the chance to find out how much tax they have paid.
The taxpayer can also use this TDS certificate as evidence of tax payment in any type of complaint.
