Tax Collection at Source
Tax Collection at Source (TCS) is an income tax that a seller collects on the sale of specific items from a buyer.
According to this concept, a seller is liable to collect tax from a buyer at a prescribed rate and deposit the same to the government. Section 206C of the Income Tax Act specifies the items on which TCS is applicable, and also specifies the entities responsible for collecting TCS. A seller should collect TCS from a buyer when deducting the amount payable or receiving the amount payable from a buyer, whichever is earlier.
