Tax collected at source (TCS), is the tax that the seller collects from the buyer upon sale, so it can be deposited with tax authorities. Section 206C governs goods for which the seller must collect tax from buyers. To collect TCS, such persons must have the Tax Collector Account Number.
Note: If the total turnover exceeds Rs.10 crores for the preceding financial year, and the seller receives sales consideration for any products exceeding Rs 50 lakhs. TCS must be collected by such sellers upon receipt of consideration from buyers for any amount exceeding Rs.50 lakhs.
