TCS - Process, Procedure, Document Required, Fees, Eligibility, Duration

Tax Collected at Source (TCS) is an additional sum collected as tax from the buyer at the moment of sale by a seller of designated products. The TCS so collected is deposited by the seller to the government account. According to the Income Tax Act of 1961, certain sellers are required to collect a set proportion of tax when they receive payment from their buyers. The items on which the seller can collect tax from the buyers are governed by Section 206C of the Income-tax Act.

TCS is collected from goods that are of commercial or trading nature. Aside from the sale of commodities, anyone who enters into a lease, license, or contract for a parking lot, toll plaza, mining, or quarrying will receive a 2% commission from TCS.

Only specific individuals or organizations have been designated as sellers for Tax Collected at Source. No other vendor is permitted to collect tax from buyers at the point of sale. The following can collect TCS:

  • State government
  • Central government

TCS certificate

When a tax collector files his quarterly TCS return, he must furnish the buyers of the goods with a TCS certificate. The certificate should be issued within 15 days after the filing of the TCS quarterly returns. This certificate includes the following information:

  • Seller and Buyer's Names
  • TAN of the seller
  • The PAN of both the seller and the buyer
  • The total amount of tax collected by the seller
  • Collection date
  • The tax rate that was used
