Why TAN is Required to every business?

 

What Is a TAN?

TAN is an alphanumeric ten digit number allotted by Income Tax Department. It is to be taken by all businesses, whether it is a small proprietorship or big billion company. It is compulsory for every business which needs to deposit tax at source. 

Every business is required to deduct the TDS of their vendor while making payment if the amount exceeds threshold limit. Threshold limits differs based on nature of payment such as for rent – limit is INR 1,80,000/-, for professionals – limit is INR 30,000/-, etc

The amount deducted in the form of tax is then deposited to the credit of the central government.

Non-deduction and deposit of TDS will lead to various penalties under the Income tax act,1961 and also led to disallowances of expenses while computing profit of business for the purpose of income tax.

TDS is required to be deposited on or before the 7th day of next following month. Non-depositing of TDS shall cause payment of interest.

I have a sole proprietorship firm and taking an office on rent. My annual turnover is below Rs. 1 crore and I do not have any TAN number. My Landlord is NRI . I understand that I need to deduct 30.9% TDS. Do I need to take TAN number or I can simply deposit the TDS with Tax authorities. Please advise.
