what is meant by TDS..

Answer / srinivasulu

Nothing is as tangled and knotty as the TDS provisons.
While some TDS rates are specified in the individual
section which deal with the tax treatment of the particular
stream of income, some rates are included as part of a
separate schedule. To make matters worse, these rates get
tampered and modified every year. This result in so much
chaos and confusion, that sometimes those who have to apply
TDS, do not have a clue about what rate to use. Imagine the
plight of tax payer.

The genasis of the problem lies in the complicated nature
of the tax laws. The authorities complain that less than 2%
of our population actually pays taxes. However,
simpliflying the provisions is not viewed as a possible
solution. On the other hand, in an effort to bring more and
more people into the tax net, the lawmakers simply endup
complicating the law. And the rule is simple more the
complexity more the room.

TDS is final tax payable- at the time of filling his
returns, the assessee pays the balance if any or asks for
refund, as the case maybe. Ergo, it behooves the Department
to have a standard uniform rate -convenient both for itself
as well as the taxpayers.

The most unfortunate part is that we could have easily done
away with any TDS provided the deparrtment had good
infrastructure to apprehend assessees avoiding tax only
through TDS.

Benjamin O'Henry has owned and operated O'Henry's Data Services since its beginning ten years ago. From all appearances, the business has prospered. In the past few years, you have become friends with O'Henry and his wife. Recently, O'Henry mentioned that he has lost his zest for the business and would consider selling it for the right price. You are interested in buying this business, and you obtain its most recent monthly unadjusted trial balance which follows: O'Henry's Data Services Unadjusted Trial Balance November 30, 20XX Cash……………………………… $9,700 Accounts receivable……………………… 7,900 Prepaid expenses………… 2,600 Furniture, fixtures, & equipment 151,300 Accumulated depreciation $15,600 Accounts payable………… 3,800 Salary payable……………… Unearned service revenue 6,700 Benjamin O'Henry, capital 137,400 Benjamin O'Henry, withdrawals 2,000 Service revenue………… 14,300 Rent expense…………… Salary expense………… 3,400 Utilities expense……… 900 Depreciation expense Supplies expense…… Total…………………………………………. $177,800 $177,800 Revenues and expenses vary little from month to month, and November is a typical month. Your investigation reveals that the unadjusted trial balance does not include the effects of monthly revenues of $2,100 and monthly expenses totaling $2,750. If you were to buy O'Henry's Data Services, you would hire a manager who would require a monthly salary of $3,000. The most you would pay for the business is 20 times the monthly net income you could expect to earn from it. Compute this possible price. The least O'Henry will take for the business is his ending capital. Compute this amount. Under these conditions, how much should you offer O'Henry? Give your reason. I have the mathimatical part ok , please give reasons on how much and why I they would offer him the amount.
