Not just TDS, the massive Income Tax also includes TCS within its ambit. It is important to know the various aspects of TCS like its rates, commodities on which it is applicable, etc. So let us make an attempt to understand TCS, TCS vis a vis TDS and further details about TCS.

Generally, tax is required to be collected at the source at the time of receipt of such amount from the said buyer or at the time of debiting the amount payable by the buyer of certain goods to the account of the buyer, whichever is earlier.

Important Points to be taken note of:

  1. No collection of tax shall be made in the case of a resident buyer, if such buyer had furnished to the person responsible for collecting the tax, a declaration in writing in double copies in the prescribed format and the same has been verified in the prescribed way to the effect that the goods referred above are to be utilized further for the purpose of manufacturing, processing or producing articles or manufacturing things or for the purpose of generation of power and should not be used for the purpose of trading.
  2. Section 206C (1D) provides that tax is to be collected at source@1% of sale consideration by the seller from the purchaser, where the sale of jewellery or bullion is in cash and the sale consideration is as follows–
    1. For jewellery, the consideration exceeds Rs. 5 lakh,
    2. & for bullion, the consideration exceeds Rs. 2 lakh
In these cases, the tax has to be collected at source by the seller from the purchaser irrespective of the purpose of the goods, even if it is for further manufacturing or trading or for personal use.
The impetus for bringing such restrictions is to reduce the quantum of cash transactions in jewellery and bullion sector and also to make sure that the flow of unaccounted money is reduced in this sector.
A person who is collecting tax as per the provisions of this section is responsible for preparing such statements and for such periods as may be required after paying the tax collected from the purchasers to the credit of the Central Government within the stated time frame.
These statements should be submitted to the prescribed income-tax authority or the person authorized by the income – tax authority. The statement should be in the prescribed format and should be cross – verified in the required manner. The statement should also set forth the require particulars and should be file within the stipulated time limits.
