What Is a TAN?
A Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is a unique 10‑character alphanumeric code issued by the Income‑tax Department. It must appear on all documents related to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS): returns, challans, certificates, and correspondence.
Who Must Obtain TAN?
- All Deductors: Any person or entity (companies, firms, non‑profits) making payments on which TDS/TCS is required.
- Branch Offices: Each branch that deducts or collects tax must hold its own TAN.
- Contractors & Consultants: Entities paying contract or professional fees above the threshold.
- Exemptions: Salaried individuals with only payroll income do not need a TAN.
