TCS ON SALE OF GOODS – NEW PROVISION

TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is a tax that is collected by the seller from the buyer and deposited to the account of the government on behalf of the buyer.

As such, there are no TDS/ TCS provisions on the Sale of Goods other than the sale of special category goods like Alcohol, Tobacco, Tendu Leaves, Timber wood, Minerals, Motor vehicles of more than 10 Lakhs, etc.

Thus, the government has introduced a provision where the seller has to collect TCS on the sale of any type of goods subject to some conditions.
