Income Tax Department Introduces Unified Form 141 to Simplify TDS Compliance
The Income Tax Department has introduced Form 141 to simplify tax deducted at source (TDS) compliance by consolidating four previous forms—26QB, 26QC, 26QD, and 26QE—into a single unified form. This change covers transactions including immovable property transfers, rent payments, contractor and professional fees, and virtual digital asset transfers involving individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). The new form aims to streamline reporting and payment processes, making TDS compliance easier and more user-friendly.
