II. Introduction of Section 194T – TDS on Payments to Partners

Currently, there is no requirement for deduction of tax at source (TDS) on payments such as salary, remuneration, interest, bonus, or commission made by an LLP to its partners.

However, the Finance Bill, 2024, introduces Section 194T, bringing these payments under the TDS regime.

Key Provisions of Section 194T:

· TDS Requirement: LLPs must deduct income tax at the rate of 10% on payments made in the form of salary, remuneration, commission, bonus, or interest to partners.

· Timing of Deduction: The deduction must occur at the time of crediting the amount to the partner’s account (including the capital account) or at the time of payment, whichever is earlier.

· Threshold for TDS: TDS is applicable if the total amount credited or paid to a partner in a financial year exceeds ₹ 20,000.

Effective Date: The amendment will be effective from April 1, 2025 (Assessment Year 2025-26 onwards), unlike some other TDS provisions which are effective from October 1, 2024.Register Your LLP in Ahmedabad @ Rs. 6500. LLP REGISTRATION IN AHMEDABADhttp://LLPconsultant.comcall: 073832 47698
