What is a 'Tax Deduction'. A tax deduction is a reduction in tax obligation from a taxpayer's gross income. Tax deductions can be the result of a variety of events that the taxpayer experiences over the course of the year. Tax deductions are removed from taxable income, also known as the adjusted gross income, and thus lowers the taxpayer's overall tax liability.
TDS Rates. The term âTDSâ refers to âTax Deduction at sourceâ. It is a mechanism wherein a person responsible to pay a sum of specified nature shall deduct an amount towards TDS and pay it to the credit of Central Government. Various TDS rates on various incomes have been prescribed under the Income-tax Act.
