Starting April 1, 2025, the Tax Collected at Source (TCS) under Section 206C(1H) of the Income Tax Act will be removed. This provision previously required sellers to collect TCS at a rate of 0.1% on sales exceeding ₹50 lakh in a financial year. The removal is part of the Finance Bill 2025 and aims to simplify tax compliance for businesses by eliminating the overlap with Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) obligations under Section 194Q, which also applies to similar transactions.
Situation till FY 2024-25::: TCS under Section 206C(1H) applies to a seller whose total sales, gross receipts, or turnover from business exceeded ₹10 crore in the immediately preceding financial year. It requires the seller to collect TCS at 0.1% on the sale consideration exceeding ₹50 lakh from a single buyer in a financial year.
