For YouTubers and influencers
You've probably already paid more tax than you owe.
Brands cut TDS. YouTube withholds US tax. Both only count if they reach your tax records and you claim them. DollarDesk tracks your brand deals, free products and platform payouts, and shows exactly where your money is.
See the tax you’ve already paid
TDS from every brand, plus the US tax YouTube withheld, added up against your estimated tax. Most creators find they’ve paid more than they thought.
Catch TDS that never reached you
Compare each brand’s TDS with your AIS. When one is missing, get a ready email asking the brand to file or fix its TDS return.
Free products, handled
Log PR packages as kept or returned. We count the kept ones as income and warn you when a brand passes ₹20,000, where 10% TDS kicks in.
50% or 6%?
The tax department’s influencer code points to the 50% professional scheme; many CAs use 6% as a business. See what each costs you, side by side.
Questions
Who is this for?
Indian YouTubers, Instagram creators and influencers who earn from brand deals, free products, AdSense or other platforms abroad, including those who also freelance.
What does the free plan include?
Up to 10 creator entries a tax year, the tax-already-paid summary, the 50% vs 6% comparison and the free-product tracker. Pro (₹299/month or ₹2,499/year) adds unlimited entries, the AIS TDS check with chase emails, the US tax credit and Form 44 figures, advance tax and reminders.
Do you file my return?
No. DollarDesk does the tracking and arithmetic. You or your CA file, using the year-end pack.
Does it connect to YouTube or my bank?
Not yet. You enter each payout and deal, which takes seconds and keeps your logins out of it.
