• Amendments in TDS:
• 1. Section 194BA – Introduction of withholding tax provisions for
income from online gaming
• In view of the surge in online gaming, the government proposes to
introduce specific sections for TDS w.e.f. 1 July 2023. The payer needs
to deduct tax at the rate of 30% on the 'net winnings' in the user
account at the end of the Financial Year (FY) or at the time of
withdrawal by the user. The method for computing the net winnings is
yet to be prescribed.
• Clarity is sought on taxability of online gaming in a scenario where the
user, gaming platform and the gaming server are in different
jurisdictions and each jurisdiction brings such income within its tax
purview. The treaty benefit for non-residents would also not be
available. Moreover, since no threshold is prescribed, the entire net
winnings shall be liable for tax deduction.
• Section 196A – Benefit of tax treaty rate extended to specified
income earned by non-residents
• For income earned from units of mutual funds by non-residents in
India, tax is required to be deducted at the rate of 20%. W.e.f. 1 April
2023, a non-resident can avail the beneficial rate provided in the tax
treaty by furnishing a Tax Residency Certificate.
• This is a welcome step towards boosting investments in India. It
bridges the gap and brings uniformity in the rate at which tax is
deducted and income is offered resulting in no blockage of funds for a
non-resident in India.
• Section 192A – Relaxation provided for employees not having a PAN
• W.e.f. 1 April 2023, employees to receive accumulated balance of
provident fund post tax deduction at the rate of 20% as against the
existing Maximum Marginal Rate in case PAN is not furnished.
• The lower tax deduction rate will provide relief to many employees
who do not have/furnish their PAN to employers. Additionally, this
will lead to reduced number of tax refund claims, thereby bringing
down the administrative burden of the government.
• Section 193 – Tax to be deducted on interest on specified securities
• It is proposed w.e.f. 1 April 2023, to deduct tax on the interest payable
on listed securities in dematerialized form which was previously
excluded from the ambit of this Section.
• Earlier taxpayers inadvertently missed reporting the interest income
in their tax returns due to non-deduction of taxes. The proposed
amendment will ensure accurate disclosures in the tax returns and
enable the government in collection of due taxes.
• Section 194B and 194BB – Clarification on threshold limit for winning
income from lottery, crossword puzzle and horse racing
• The existing threshold limit of INR 10,000 for tax deduction on such
income is clarified to be the limit per FY.
• Presently, by splitting the winning income into multiple transactions
below INR 10,000, the payers could circumvent the requirement to
withhold tax. The proposed amendment seeks to curb the existing
loophole of the sections.
• Section 194N – Enhanced limit for co-operative society
• In case of cash withdrawals by a co-operative society, the threshold is
now proposed at INR 3 crores instead of INR 1 crore, for deduction of
taxes from 1 April 2023.
• The intention vide this proposed amendment is to provide relief to co-
operative societies in view of the numerous cash transactions with
farmers/ low-income group people.
• Section 194R – Clarification for tax deductibility on benefits/
perquisites
• It is proposed to clarify that the tax is to be deducted whether the
benefit or perquisite is in cash or in kind or partly in cash and partly in
kind. Similar amendment is also proposed under Section 28(iv).
• Amidst a prevailing plethora of uncertainty in the said section,
clarifications on various issues are still awaited from the government.
• TCS Amendments
• 1. Section 206C(1G) – Enhanced TCS rate on certain remittances made outside
India
• Tax to be collected at an enhanced rate of 20% as against the existing rate of 5%
in case of all the remittances under Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) and
overseas tour package. However, the TCS rate on remittances made for medical
and education purposes in excess of INR 7 lakh continues to be at 5%. Further, in
case remittance in excess of INR 7 lakh is made for educational purpose out of
loan obtained from financial institution, the TCS rate of 0.5% remains unchanged.
• The proposed amendment will be applicable from 1 July 2023.
• Though the taxpayer is eligible for credit of tax collected by way of filing a return
of income, it may lead to blockage of funds till refund is credited in taxpayer's
bank account. Moreso, in cases where large refunds are claimed by the taxpayer,
it may result in unwarranted scrutiny. This will largely impact the foreign tourism
industry and the overseas investments made by residents under LRS.
• Section 206AB & 206CCA – Exclusion of specified category from non-filers of tax
return
• There are certain persons who are not obliged to file tax return in India i.e. non-
resident with no PAN and persons notified by the government. W.e.f. 1 April 2023
it is proposed to exclude such persons from the ambit of this Section and provide
relief from higher TDS/TCS rate.

• Procedural Amendments
• 1. Extension of Section 197 to include Section 194LBA
• An application for Lower Withholding Tax Certificate can now be made for
income covered under Section 194LBA – 'Certain income from units of business
trust' w.e.f. 1 April 2023. This will largely benefit Sovereign Wealth Funds and
Pension funds whose income from business trust is exempt under Section
10(23FE).
• However, inclusion of Section 194R and Section 194Q within the ambit of Section
197 for a lower or Nil tax rate is still awaited.
• Introduction of Section 155(20) – TDS credit in the year in which
income is offered to tax
• Where a taxpayer reports income on accrual basis in a year and tax on
the same is deducted in the subsequent year, it results in tax credit
mismatch. Such taxpayer w.e.f.1 October 2023 can make an
application to claim the credit in the year in which the income is
offered to tax. The application is to be made within two years of a FY
in which tax credit is reflected.
• Though this is a welcome step by the government towards simplifying
compliances, the prior years' tax credit issue remains unresolved.
• The above amendments proposed are in line with the objectives
highlighted by the Hon'ble Finance Minister towards reducing the
hardships faced by the taxpayer. However, there are various
withholding tax provisions where clarifications were expected such as
Section 194R, 194N, 194Q etc. which are still awaited. Overall, some
amendments facilitate increased/ early collection of taxes for the
government and the others provide relief to the taxpayers by offering
reduced tax rates/ compliances.

Guidelines for handling issues related
to applications received u/s 197:
In order to streamline the procedure of handling the
applications received u/s 197 and disposing the same in
a time bound manner in consonance with the Citizens’
charter, the commissioner of Income tax (TDS) has
issued certain guidelines for the Assessing Officers.

In a nutshell, these guidelines make it mandatory for the Assessing Officer

to dispose of the applications u/s 197 within a time frame of 30 days from
the end of the month in which application complete in ALL respect is
received. The section 197 strikes a delicate balance between requirement of
ensuring cash flow to the taxpayer and realizing government dues at the
earliest. Taxpayers are, therefore, advised to file complete details required
for processing the application in the first instance itself. This will expedite
the issuance of certificate u/s 197.
Similar to Section 197 of the Income Tax
Act, 1961 provides for the facility of NIL
deduction of tax at source or at a deduction at a
Lower rate of tax. To avail of this benefit the
assessee whose TCS is likely to be collected on
certain receipts should make an application before
the TCS Assessing Officer who has a jurisdiction
over his/ her/ its case. The assessee/ Collectee
concerned may apply for a certificate for Nil or
lower deduction of TDS on their receipts in Form
No 13. Delays in this matter can be avoided by
filing the prescribed form correctly and submitting
the required details along with the form itself.
Time Limits and Procedure of depositing TDS and
Issue of TCS Certificate:

Both transferee and transferor must have Permanent

Account Number (PAN).

Transferee is not required to hold/obtain TAN for payment

of TCS. Online payment of TCS is mandatory. Online
payment of challan is available on TIN NSDL website.

Any sum collected shall be paid to the credit of the

Central Government within a period of 7 days from the
end of the month in which the deduction is made and
shall be accompanied by a challan-cum-statement in
Form No. 27EQ.

Sec 206C(1H):
Section 206C(1H) TCS on Receipt of Sale Consideration
“Every person, being a seller, who receives any amount as consideration for sale
of any goods of the value or aggregate of such value exceeding fifty lakh rupees
in any previous year, other than the goods being exported out of India or goods
covered in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1F) or sub-section(1G) shall, at
the time of receipt of such amount , collect from the buyer, a sum equal to
0.1per cent of the sale consideration exceeding fifty lakh rupees as income-tax”

Nature of Transaction
Receipt of Sale consideration for Sale of Goods in India by a Seller whose
turnover exceeds Rs. 10 Crores in the preceding FY is liable to collect tax at
source.

The term goods have not been defined in the Income Tax Act, hence we may
refer to Sales of Goods Act, 1930 or Goods and Service Tax Act 2017 for the
meaning of goods. In both the Acts, the term “Goods” has been defined as
“Goods” means every kind of movable property other than money and securities
but includes actionable claims, growing crops, grass and things attached to or
forming part of the land which are agreed to be severed before supply or under
a contract of supply.
These provisions are applicable only in respect of transaction of sale of
goods and do not apply to sale of services.

Who is liable to collect tax at Source (TCS) under section

206C(1H) ?

> Seller whose Turnover of preceding year exceeds Rs. 10

Crores.

> As per Section 206C(1H) “Seller means a person whose total sales,
gross receipts or turnover from the business carried on by him
exceed ten crore rupees during the financial year immediately
preceding the financial year in which the sale of goods is
carried out, not being a person as the Central Government may, by
notification in the Official Gazette, specify for this purpose, subject to
such conditions as may be specified therein.” However, as per Para 2
of the CBDT Press Release dated 30th September, 2020-A seller would
be required to collect tax only if his turnover exceeds Rs. 10 crore in the
last financial year. (not the year of sale)
> Practically, it can be concluded that any person whose
turnover exceeds Rs.10 Crores in the
preceding year, shall be covered u/s. 206C(1H).

From whom to collect?

Buyer from whom, receipt (and not sales) exceeds Rs. 50 Lakhs,
in aggregate, in a financial year. The amount on which the tax needs
to be collected shall be limited only to the consideration for sale of
goods actually received. The liability is triggered at the point of
receipt of amount once the threshold of Rs.50 Lakhs is crossed. In
the absence of sale of goods and amount received, the liability does
not exist.
The sale consideration can be interpreted as amount received in
advance or in arrears. In case, if there is some change in valuation
say under GST law then too the requirement of TCS will be qua actual
consideration and not qua valuation under the GST law.

Rate of Tax
> 1% of the amount exceeding Rs. 50 Lakhs. (@0.075% upto
31.03.2021)
If the buyer does not provide PAN/Aadhaar number then the TCS shall be collected at
1%, instead of 0.1%. In such situation, Covid-19 related concession is also not
available.
> Example: If Amount received in a FY is Rs. 70 Lakhs, then TCS is applicable only on
Rs.20 Lakhs.

When to collect the TCS?

> Section 206C(1H) provides that TCS is required to be collected at the time of
receipt of the Sale consideration and not at the time of debiting the Party Ledger
Account.
> What about Sales made in FY 2020-21 where TCS @ 0.075% is levied on invoice ?
If it’s payment is received in FY2021-22, then @0.1% will be levied. Separate accounting
/collection for such shortfall would be required.

> If the buyer is liable to deduct tax at source on goods purchased by him and the buyer has
deducted the amount then the seller is not required to collect TCS on such transactions. Both
the conditions need to be fulfilled i.e., the buyer should be liable for deduction of tax at source
and has deducted such amount If the buyer does not provide PAN/Aadhaar number then the TCS
shall be collected at 1%, instead of 0.1%. In such situation, Covid-19 related concession is also
not available.

> Example: If Amount received in a FY is Rs. 70 Lakhs, then TCS is applicable only on Rs.20
Lakhs.
>When to collect the TCS?
> Section 206C(1H) provides that TCS is required to be
collected at the time of receipt of the Sale consideration and
not at the time of debiting the Party Ledger Account.

What about Sales made in FY 2020-21 where TCS @ 0.075% is

levied on invoice ?–If it’s payment is received in FY2021-22, then
@0.1% will be levied. Separate accounting /collection for such
shortfall would be required.

If the buyer is liable to deduct tax at source on goods purchased by

him and the buyer has deducted the amount then the seller is not
required to collect TCS on such transactions. Both the conditions
need to be fulfilled i.e., the buyer should be liable for deduction of
tax at source and has deducted such amount
Tax not to be collected in certain cases
> Explanation (a) to Section 206C(1H)– Buyer means a person who
purchases any goods, but does not
include,
(A) the Central Government, a State Government, etc.
(B) a local authority as defined in the Explanation to Section10(20)
(C) a person importing goods into India or any other notified person
> Although, no tax is to be collected from them, but the same is
required to be mentioned in the quarterly TCS Statement (Form
No. 27EQ) and non-disclosure of such items in quarterly TCS Statement
is required to be reported by the Tax Auditor under Clause 34(b) of
the Tax Audit Report.

TCS is not required to be collected in respect of Export sales as the

consideration for sale of goods
excludes consideration towards goods exported out of India and even
the definition of buyer excludes a
person importing goods from India.
> TCS not to be collected on Sale of immovable property as it is out of
ambit of goods.
TCS on trade receivables standing in books as on 30 September 2020:
The trigger point of collection of TCS is receipt of consideration for sale of goods and hence one
may say
that as the consideration is received on or after 01 October 2020, TCS provisions are applicable
on such
transactions and TCS should be collected by the seller.

The CBDT has recently issued a clarification which gives an impression that in cases
where goods
have been sold prior to 01 October 2020 and the consideration is received on or
after 01 October
2020, TCS should be collected.

However, an alternate view is also possible because for this provision to be applicable both the
conditions
need to be satisfied:
> The sale of goods is carried out i.e., sale of goods must have been actually effected and
> The consideration must be received in respect of such sale.

Therefore, in cases where goods have already been sold prior to 01 October 2020, TCS may not
be required to be
collected because these provisions are effectively operative from 01 October 2020. Needless to
mention,
considering that CBDT has issued a clarification that TCS should be applicable on receipt of
consideration on or after 01 October, 2020 even if sale is made before 01 October 2020,
litigation cannot be entirely ruled out.
Cancellation of Sale
Practical difficulties may arise where advance is collected for sale of goods
and TCS is remitted and subsequently the contract is cancelled and the
amount is refundable. In such cases, the seller may only refund the primary
sale consideration received and not the TCS amount, since such TCS
amount is already credited as prepaid taxes and will appear in Form 26AS
and the buyer should not insist for refund of the TCS amount as the
buyer would otherwise be entitled to credit of the TCS in the return of
income.

Payments by third party

In quite a few cases, the sale proceeds are partly paid by the Government
as a release of subsidy, or the costs are funded by third-party payments. All
such transactions also amount to receipt on behalf of the buyer and hence
the seller will be under obligation to remit TCS.

Whether turnover of Rs.10 Crores includes GST?

For the purpose of determining applicability of Turnover of Rs. 10 Crores as
per Explanation to Section 206C(1H), the turnover limit of Rs. 10
Crores shall be determined excluding the amount of GST collected
on Sales.
How to determine the limit of Rs. 50 Lakhs?

> The seller is liable to collect TCS from the buyer if the receipt of sale consideration in the
financial
year (including receipts before 1st October, 2020) exceeds Rs.50 Lakhs.
> Section 206C(1H)–
“Every person, being a seller, who receives any amount as consideration for sale of any goods
of the
value or aggregate of such value exceeding fifty lakh rupees in any previous year, other than
the goods
being exported out of India or goods covered in sub-section (1)/ (1F)/ (1G) shall, at the time of receipt of
such amount, collect from the buyer, a sum equal to 0.1% of the sale consideration exceeding Rs.50
Lakhs
as income-tax”

> Further, as per CBDT Guidelines u/s. 206C(1-I) vide circular 17/2020 dated 29.09.2020 provides that
the seller is liable to collect TCS if the receipt of sales consideration exceeds Rs.50 Lakhs.
> As per Para 4 of the CBDT Press Release dated 30.09.2020-the threshold is based on the yearly
receipt.

Thus, it can be concluded that the limit of Rs.50 Lakhs is of RECEIPT and not SALE.
> TCS is also required to be collected at the time of receipt of advance – Para No. 4.4.2 (ii) of CBDT
Guidelines vide Circular No. 17/2020 dated 29.09.2020.

> Threshold of Rs.50 Lakhs–EVERY YEAR FOR EVERY DEBTOR

Should TCS amount be included in the invoice:
As such, there is no provision which mandatorily requires the seller to include the
amount of TCS in the
tax invoice. However, if the amount of TCS is not included in the invoice, then the
buyer would not be
aware of the total amount of consideration payable to the seller and therefore it
would be advisable for the seller to add the TCS figure in the invoice itself and also
raise an accounting entry in the books of accounts as a TCS liability even though not
payable until the receipt of consideration. It may be noted that even though if the
TCS amount is debited to the buyer, the liability to deposit TCS u/s 206C(1H) does
not arise till receipt of consideration.

Impact of Credit notes and Debit notes:

If sales return/credit note/debit note is before receipt of any consideration, then the
impact thereof will be included in the amount of consideration, and accordingly, on
receipt of the revised consideration, the
provisions of TCS would be applicable. If the amount of consideration is already
received and TCS is
collected and paid, no impact thereof will be required to be made at the time of
passing entry for sales
return/credit note/debit note. However, against the subsequent realization, if the
same gets adjusted and net consideration is paid then on such net consideration TCS
should be collected.
Whether TCS Provisions would be applicable if the amount of sale
consideration is adjusted against
the amounts payable for purchases from said party:

in such a situation, though the amount is not received in cash mode, however
there is a deemed receipt of consideration through indirect means i.e., through
an adjustment of receivable and payables account and hence TCS should be
collected under such transactions. Even a past, present or future act is valid
consideration under the Contract Act and therefore consideration would be
deemed to have been received on an adjustment of mutual liabilities.

TCS applicable even on part receipt of consideration:

M/s ABC (Turnover for the FY 2019-20 was Rs.20 Crores) from the period 01 April
2020 to 30 October
2020 has sold goods worth Rs.50 Lakhs to Mr A and the consideration has been
received to M/s ABC.
Thereafter, M/s ABC again sold goods worth Rs.75 Lakhs on 01/11/2020 and till
30/11/2020, M/s ABC
has received only Rs.60 lakhs from Mr A. Here in this case, M/s ABC will have to
consider the receipt of amount of Rs.60 lakhs inclusive of TCS and accordingly
compute the amount of TCS on gross up basis as under;
Amount Received / (100 + Rate of TCS) * Rate of TCS = 60,00,000/100.075 *
0.075% = Rs.4,497/-
TCS is to be collected at the time of receipt of the amount

However, TCS is to computed as a % of sale consideration

Basic Threshold of Rs. 50 Lakhs is provided – TCS to be collected only on amount in

excess of 50 Lakhs

Export and Import transactions are excluded – FA amendment

Government as a buyer is excluded but government companies as seller is not

excluded

Applicable where sales, turnover, gross receipts in business of seller exceeded 10

Crore in immediately preceding Lower collection certificate is not possible – Not
covered by sub. Section 9

If TDS deducted by buyer – TCS does not apply – Availability of trail
