PAN to TAN
A TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is required for all entities responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source (TDS or TCS) on payments made by them under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The TAN number helps the Income Tax Department track and manage the TDS and TCS collected by these entities.
The TAN number follows a specific format:
- The first four characters are letters.
- The next five characters are numerals.
- The last character is a letter.
- TDS/TCS Returns: The TAN number is mandatory for filing TDS/TCS returns.
- TDS/TCS Certificates: It is also required on TDS/TCS certificates issued to the payees.
- Payment Challans: The TAN must be quoted on TDS/TCS payment challans.
- Communication with IT Department: The TAN is used in all TDS/TCS related communications with the Income Tax Department.
- Ensures correct tracking of TDS/TCS transactions.
- Helps in the proper crediting of taxes to the government.
- Facilitates compliance with Indian tax laws.
Entities such as companies, government offices, individuals, and others who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax at the source are required to apply for and obtain a TAN. Non-compliance or failure to quote the TAN in specified documents can lead to penalties.
