Implementation of Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on Sales consideration of Goods & Accounting Entries to be passed in the books of collector
A new section 206(1H) has been introduced by government for collecting TCS on sale of goods with effect from 01 October 2020. Since the provision is new, hence entities must make certain changes in their accounting system to implement the same.
In this article, I will share with you the preparation entities must undertake and what accounting entries they should make in their books in order to peacefully comply with the requirements of this section:
Implementation of TCS on sales consideration of Goods in accounting procedure by entity:
1. First entity should check the applicability of this section on the basis of their previous financial year’s turnover. If Turnover exceeded Rs. 10 Crores in previous Financial Year, then this section is applicable, otherwise not.
2. If this section is applicable, then take out the list of customers (Buyers) and identify the customers (Buyers) from whom “Sales Consideration for Goods including advances” received before 01 October 2020 already exceeded Rs. 50 Lakhs, TCS must be collected from them on any receipt of subsequent “Sales Consideration for Goods including advances” without fail.
3. For other customers (Buyers), check the limit of Rs. 50 Lakhs after every receipt of “Sales Consideration for Goods including advances”. In case limit of Rs. 50 Lakhs is crossed, TCS must be collected from them on any receipt of subsequent “Sales Consideration for Goods including advances” without fail.
4. Rate of collection of TCS:
| From 01 October 2020 to 31 March 2021 | : | 0.075% |
| From 01 April 2021 onwards | : | 0.1% |
| In Case of No PAN/Aadhar of Buyer Available | : | 1% |
5. Buyers from whom TCS will be collected should be informed in advance so that they can pay amount of TCS along with sales consideration.
6. Timely Debit note should be issued to Buyers for the TCS amount.
7. Open a Separate Ledger under the Group “Current Liabilities” named “TCS Payable on Sales of Goods” for reconciliation of TCS collected and to be paid to government.
8. Deposit TCS collected during the month to Government on or before 7th of the next month to avoid levying of interest.
9. File Quarterly TCS return on time & issue TCS certificate to Buyers as per the schedule given below:
| Quarter Ending | Due Date of Submission of return Form 27EQ | Due date for issuance of TCS certificate |
| 30th June | 15th July | 30th July |
| 30th September | 15th October | 30th October |
| 31st December | 15th January | 30th January |
| 31st March | 15th May | 30th May |
10. Late fees of Rs. 200 per day will be levied in case of delay in filing of returns. However total Late filing Fees cannot exceed total amount of TCS.
