Violation of TDS provisions has been a punishable offence for more than a century. However, the number of cases reported in the media where TDS cases have resulted in conviction and the persons responsible for such violation of law have been sent to jail are coming out in good numbers and at an increased frequency only recently.
TDS contributes about 43% of direct taxes revenue as also significant proportion of indirect tax collections. Besides it is the most regular source of revenue unlike advance tax which is received in four installments. Therefore in recent years the Government has placed more and more reliance on such mode of tax collection which is very convenient and cost effective. With globalization and expansion of economic landscape, various new and emerging areas of TDS mobilization have come into play which have to be effectively tapped not only to mobilize the valuable revenue but also to expand the tax base.
The government uses TDS as a tool to collect tax in order to minimise tax evasion at a later date. The objective of TDS could be said, in general, to be maximization of revenue collection while minimizing the cost of collection.
