PROCEDURES FOR SECTION 206AB AND 206CCA COMPLIANCE CHECK FUNCTIONALITY
The Income Tax Department has added a new feature to its website to assist businesses in maintaining compliance with the new TDS (tax deducted at source) and TCS (tax collected at source) rules that take effect on July 1. The Finance Act of 2021 added sections 206AB and 206 CCA to the Income Tax Act, establishing a specific provision for non-filers to deduct tax at source.
‘Compliance Check for Sections 206AB and 206CCA’ can be performed. In the case of a “specified person,” new sections impose a tax deduction or a greater rate of tax collection. The higher rate is equal to twice the statutory rate or 5%, whichever is higher. A specified person is someone who hasn’t filed a return in the two years leading up to the year in which tax is due to be deducted or collected. In each of the previous two years, the total TDS/TCS was less than 50,000.
The tax deductor or collector can now use new functionality to feed a single or multiple PAN of the deductee or collectee, and the functionality will respond if the deductee or collectee is a designated person.
In the event of a change or late filing of the TDS/ TCS, names may be removed from the specified person list. A scenario in which such revisions result in surpassing the 50,000 limits and, as a result, the inclusion of a non-specified person in the specified person list is also feasible.
