Bagasse used as a fuel usually in sugar mills, cannot be considered as ‘scrap’ for sec. 206C

November 19, 2012 1734 Views 0 comment Print

Bagasse is quite often and commonly used as a fuel, usually in the sugar mill themselves. The sugarcane fibrous waste is initially moist after crushing, but most mills use them as fuel after drying. Hence, even though bagasse is in the nature of scrap and waste because of its nature, since it can be used directly as a fuel, I hold that it should not be considered as ‘scrap’ for the purpose of section 206C of the Act.

TCS means collection of tax at source by the seller (collector) from the buyer (collectee/payee) of the goods (specified u/s 206C of Income-tax Act, 1961, like timber obtained under forest lease, scrap, any other forest produce not being timber or tendu leaves etc.,). For e.g. if purchase value of goods is Rs.10,000/-, the buyer will pay an amount of Rs.10,000/- + X (X being the value of TCS as prescribed under Income-tax Act, 1961) to the seller. The seller will deposit the tax collected at source (TCS) at any of the designated branches of the authorised banks.

No TCS on Cash purchase of Jewellery upto Rs. 5 lakhs

May 8, 2012 7265 Views 0 comment Print

To curb the flow of unaccounted money in the bullion & jewellery trade, the Finance Bill proposes the collection of tax at source (TCS) by the seller at the rate of 1 per cent of the sale amount from the buyer for all cash transactions exceeding Rs.2 lakh. Responding to the representations made by the jewellery industry that this would cause undue hardship, I propose to raise the threshold limit for TCS on cash purchases of jewellery to Rs.5 lakh from the present Rs.2 lakh. The threshold limit for TCS on cash purchase of bullion shall be retained at Rs.2 lakh. However, it is being clarified that bullion will not include any coin or other article weighing 10 gms or less.
