Business Central has included Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) by Customer Feature to Indian Localization.

TDS is a withholding tax, where tax is deducted by the customer, at the time of making the payment or booking of the invoice, whichever is earlier. As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, tax needs to be deducted by the payer, when the payment is of a specific nature. If the TDS is deducted by the customer (deductor), then the user (deductee) has to calculate TDS on the invoice or revenue and keep a track of TDS deducted. The deductor has to provide the deductee a TDS certificate.
