What Does It Mean?

What Does It Mean?

What Does It Mean?

"Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number" is what the acronym "TAN" stands for. The Income Tax Department is responsible for issuing this number, which is a 10-digit alphanumeric number, in accordance with Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

TAN is required to be obtained by any individual or organization that is accountable for the deduction or collection of tax at source (TDS/TCS).

To put it another way, you are required to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TAN) so that you can deduct taxes from someone's payment (such as salary, contractor payment, professional fees, rent, etc.).

Ignoring the TAN:

  • TDS cannot be deposited by you.

  • You are unable to submit TDS returns.

  • You are unable to give certifications for TDS.

TAN establishes a connection between your company and the TDS compliance system in India.
