Who will prepare and validate our quarterly TDS returns at TaxQue?

Your return is prepared by a dedicated TDS specialist and validated using the official NSDL Return Preparation Utility (RPU) and File Validation Utility (FVU), supervised by a Chartered Accountant to ensure zero PAN-challan mismatches.

How do we generate and issue Form 16 and Form 16A certificates to deductees?

Once your quarterly TDS return is processed by TRACES, TaxQue downloads and generates digitally signed Form 16 (for salary) and Form 16A (for non-salary) certificates with official TRACES verification watermarks for seamless distribution to your employees and vendors.

What documents are required to file quarterly TDS returns?

You only need your TAN number, the monthly BSR code and Challan Identification Numbers (CIN) of tax paid, the deductee Excel sheet (PAN, name, payment amount, section, and date of deduction). Our team handles all formatting.

How do you resolve TRACES TDS default notices (Justification Reports)?

If you receive a demand notice for short deduction, late payment interest, or PAN errors, TaxQue downloads the official TRACES Justification Report, identifies the exact error, files a TDS Correction Return (C1, C2, C3, C5, or C9 correction), and closes the demand.

What is Section 206AB Higher TDS on non-filers and how do you verify it?

Under Section 206AB, if a vendor has not filed their ITR for the previous year and their aggregate TDS/TCS was ≥ ₹50,000, you must deduct TDS at double the normal rate or 5%. TaxQue performs automated bulk PAN compliance checks on the e-filing portal to protect you from short-deduction liabilities.

Can I correct a wrong PAN or challan allocation in an already filed TDS return?

Yes. We file online and offline TDS Correction Statements on TRACES to update deductee PANs, reallocate unconsumed challans, add missing deductee records, and eliminate outstanding defaults.

What is Form 26QB, 26QC, and 26QD for individuals buying property or paying high rent?

Individuals buying property worth ≥ ₹50 Lakhs must file Form 26QB (1% TDS under 194-IA). Individuals paying monthly rent > ₹50,000 must file Form 26QC (under 194-IB). TaxQue files these single-challan statements and delivers Form 16B/16C instantly.

How does TaxQue ensure data accuracy in our quarterly TDS returns?

We perform automated PAN name matching with the Income Tax database and verify unconsumed challan balances on TRACES before creating the final FVU file.

How long does TaxQue take to process and file our quarterly TDS return?

Once the payment challans and deductee spreadsheets are shared, our TDS desk validates the file and completes the TIN-FC submission within 24 to 48 hours.

Can you help our business apply for a new TAN number?

Yes. If your business does not yet have a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN), our team prepares Form 49B and secures your official TAN allotment within 2 to 3 business days.

What is the fee structure for TDS return filing with TaxQue?

We offer transparent, fixed pricing per quarter based on the number of deductee records, covering challan reconciliation, FVU validation, filing acknowledgment, and Form 16/16A generation with zero hidden costs.

Quarterly TDS & TCS Return Filing Services (Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q, 27EQ)

Under Section 200 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with Rule 31A of the Income Tax Rules, every person deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) or collecting Tax Collected at Source (TCS)—including employers, corporations, partnership firms, and individuals liable to tax audit—must file quarterly TDS/TCS returns on the TRACES portal declaring payee details, PAN numbers, tax deducted, and government challan deposits.

TaxQue provides automated and CA-managed quarterly TDS compliance. We validate PAN records, reconcile challans on TRACES (OLTAS/TIN-FC), compile error-free FVU files using NSDL validation utilities, file returns before the statutory due date to eliminate Section 234E late fees, and generate signed Form 16 / Form 16A certificates for payees.

What is TDS Return Filing?

TDS Return Filing is the quarterly statutory submission detailing taxes deducted from payments made to employees, contractors, professionals, landlords, and foreign entities to the Income Tax Department.

TDS Return Filing — TaxQue Statutory Services

Form 24Q (Salary TDS Returns): Quarterly return filed by employers for salary payments under Section 192, containing employee salary breakdown and Chapter VI-A deductions in Annexure II (Q4).

Form 26Q (Domestic Non-Salary TDS): Quarterly return for payments to resident vendors: Contractor payments (194C), Professional fees (194J), Rent (194I), Commission (194H), Interest (194A), Purchase of goods (194Q).

Form 27Q (Foreign Remittances & Non-Residents): Quarterly return for payments made to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign companies under Section 195, disclosing DTAA rates and TRC details.

Form 27EQ (TCS Return): Quarterly return filed by sellers collecting Tax Collected at Source on sale of scrap, timber, minerals, luxury motor cars (> ₹10L), and sale of goods (206C(1H)).

Section 234E & Section 40(a)(ia) Penalty Alert

Late filing of TDS returns attracts a mandatory late fee of ₹200 per day under Section 234E until the return is filed. Additionally, failure to deduct or deposit TDS results in 30% disallowance of business expenses under Section 40(a)(ia).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about TDS Return Filing

Any business entity, company, LLP, partnership firm, or individual/HUF subject to tax audit that makes specified payments—such as employee salaries (Section 192), contractor payments (194C), professional fees (194J), rent (194I), commission (194H), or foreign remittances (195)—must obtain a TAN, deduct TDS, deposit it monthly, and file quarterly TDS returns.

Form 24Q (TDS on Salary payments), Form 26Q (TDS on domestic non-salary payments like contractor fees, rent, professional charges), Form 27Q (TDS on payments to Non-Residents/foreign companies), and Form 27EQ (Quarterly TCS collection returns). TaxQue automates all 4 forms seamlessly.

Quarter 1 (April–June) is due by 31st July; Quarter 2 (July–Sept) by 31st October; Quarter 3 (Oct–Dec) by 31st January; and Quarter 4 (Jan–March) by 31st May. Monthly TDS tax deducted must be deposited into the government treasury by the 7th of every succeeding month.

Under Section 234E, late filing attracts a mandatory non-waivable statutory fee of ₹200 per day until the return is filed (capped at the total TDS amount). In addition, Section 271H allows assessing officers to levy penalties between ₹10,000 and ₹1,00,000 for delayed filings. TaxQue guarantees on-time quarterly filing.

Under Section 40(a)(ia), 30% of the relevant expenditure is disallowed and added back to your business taxable profit. In addition, 1% per month interest is charged for non-deduction under Section 201(1A), and 1.5% per month interest is charged for non-deposit of deducted tax.
