TCS on Sale of Goods-Section 206C(1H)-Easy Explanation

1. CONCEPT OF TCS

Govt.  is taking step for increasing tax payers base. One such major step is levy of TCS on sale of goods u/s 206C(1H). Let us understand in simple term- If turnover of business is more than 10 Crores in F.Y. 2019-20 than it has to collect TCS @ 0.075% (Due to Covid-19) on sale of goods above 50 lacs particular sale party.

2. 7 RULES FOR COLLECTION OF TCS

• Rule No.1: Turnover of seller selling goods in previous F.Y. 2019-20 should be more than 10 Crores.
• Rule No.2: TCS should be collected if you receive more than 50 lacs from buyer from 1^st April 2020 on sale of goods. Sale of services is not included.
• Rule No.3: TCS should be collected only from 01/10/2020. It means limit of receipt of 50lacs should be seen from 1^st April 2020 but TCS should be collected from 01/10/2020 only.
• Rule No.4: There is no relation with time of sale made. TCS should be collected when you receive the amount from party. It is applicable on Receipt basis.

3. LET US SEE SOME EXAMPLES-

Shankar Trading Company (STC) supplies Plastic containers to Gupta Industries(GI). Turnover of Shankar Trading Company in F.Y.2019-20 is 25 Crores.

• Case-1: Sale made to Gupta Industries from 01/04/2020 to 30/09/2020 is Rs. 65 lakhs. STC received 55 lakhs during 01/04/2020 to 30/09/2020 and balance 10lakhs is received on 02/10/2020. Now STC has to collect TCS @0.075% on whole 10 lakhs i.e. Rs.750/- at the time of receipt of Rs.10lakhs. Therefore amount to be received from Gupta Industries is 10lakhs+750=10,00,750/-. Now this Rs.750/- is required to be deposited by STC upto 7^th of Next month i.e. upto 07/11/2020 to credit of Central Govt.
• Case-2: Sale made to Gupta Industries from 01/04/2020 to 30/10/2020 is Rs.20 lacs. STC received Rs.10 lakhs between Apr-Oct 2020 and remaining 10 lakhs is received on 02/10/2020. Then TCS is not required to be deducted because receipt during the half year does not exceed Rs.50lacs.
• Case-3: Same as case-2 but STC received previous balance of Rs.50 lacs between Apr-Oct 2020, than TCS would be required to be deducted on 10lacs because receipt exceeded 50lacs.
• Case-4: Receipt from Gupta Industries on account of sale of goods is Rs. 60lacs from Apr-March 2020. Advance is received of Rs. 70 lacs on further sale than also TCS is required to be deducted on 70 lacs.

4. NOT APPLICABLE–
