TAN Registration Services
At VETRI AUDIT SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED, we provide seamless assistance in obtaining TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) for individuals and businesses required to deduct or collect tax at source. Whether you are a startup hiring employees or a business dealing with vendors, TAN registration is an essential compliance step under the Indian Income Tax Act.
What is TAN?
TAN is a 10-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is mandatory for any person or entity responsible for deducting or collecting TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) or TCS (Tax Collected at Source). Example Format: DELA12345G
This unique number ensures all TDS/TCS payments, returns, and certificates are properly tracked and credited to the government.
Who Needs TAN?
TAN registration is compulsory for the following:
- Employers deducting TDS on salaries
- Companies or Firms deducting TDS on payments such as:
- Contractor fees
