What TAN Registration Assistance is about
A Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is used in connection with applicable tax deduction or collection obligations. LEGAL CENTRE provides private assistance with reviewing the applicant details, preparing the information required for the TAN application and guiding the submission workflow.
Whether TAN is required should be evaluated according to the applicant's tax obligations and current law.
Who should consider it
Businesses, organisations and other persons that are required to deduct or collect tax at source may need TAN, subject to applicable law and exceptions.
