PAN & TAN Registration

At Complete Tax, we specialize in simplifying the process of PAN & TAN registration for individuals and businesses alike. Our expert team guides you through every step, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.PAN (Permanent Account Number) and TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) are both important identification numbers issued by the Income Tax Department of India. While they are both used in the realm of taxation, they serve distinct purposes.

Understanding PAN & TAN Registration

What is PAN? The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It serves as a key document for tax purposes and is essential for various financial transactions, including opening bank accounts, filing tax returns, and making investments. The PAN serves as a universal identification number for tracking financial transactions and tax-related activities. It is primarily used to monitor tax compliance, and all income tax-related activities, such as filing returns, paying taxes, and conducting business transactions, are linked to a PAN.

What is TAN? The Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is a 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department. It is mandatory for entities responsible for deducting or collecting tax at source. The primary purpose of TAN is to track and manage tax deductions and collections made at the source. It ensures the proper reporting and remittance of TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) or TCS (Tax Collected at Source) to the government.
