From AY 2020-21, Individuals are given option to pay tax either as per the existing slab rates or as per new slab rates newly introduced under Finance Act 2020. Accordingly employers have to deduct TDS on salary as per tax slab option opted by its employees.

3. In case of Section 194A, 194C, 194H, 194I and 194J earlier individual and HUF were required to deduct TDS only when their accounts are liable to Audit in section 44AB in PY. Now, the Finance Act 2020, says all individuals & HUF will be liable to deduct TDS if, the turnover had cross Rs. 1 Crore in case of business and Rs. 50 Lakhs in case of profession in previous year. Thus delinking the requirement of deducting TDS with tax audit.

4. In case of Section 194-IB and 194M earlier individual and HUF were required to deduct TDS only when their accounts are NOT liable to Audit in section 44AB in PY. Now, as per the Finance Act 2020, all individuals & HUF will be liable to deduct TDS if, the turnover is less than Rs. 1 Crore in case of business or Rs. 50 Lakhs in case of profession in previous year. Thus delinking the requirement of deducting TDS with tax audit.

5. Now Co-operative Society will be required to deduct TDS only u/s 194A if: Total Sales/Gross Receipts/Turnover exceeds Rs. 50 crores in immediately preceding financial year.

6. From this financial year onwards, TDS under 194C will be required even for manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from the associates of the customer’s associate. Earlier it was required in case for manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from the customer.

7. There is no change in TDS rates of 192, 194B, 194BB, 194E, 194N, for non residents and other TDS rates which were equal to maximum tax rate in force. The reduced rate will be applicable for period 14 May 2020 till 31 March 2021.

8. R= Resident ; R/NR = Resident or Non Resident; NR = Non Resident.
