• There are a lot of conflicts over TDS (u/s 194Q) and TCS (u/s 206C), which one to be applied and by whom. Few common questions are -

  •         a: Will TDS be applied on TCS
  •         b: Will TCS be applicable even after TDS is deducted?
  •         c: Can both TDS and TCS be applied on the same transaction?

Solution: TCS is said to be applied on collection, hence should not be applied as charges or deductions in Sales Invoice by the Seller. It is the Buyer who is booking the payment, hence he is liable to deduct the TDS from the total outstanding. If TDS is applied by the buyer, then TCS is not applicable. Both cannot be applied on the same transaction. Below is an illustration for different scenarios on who is liable to apply TDS by Buyer or TCS by Seller.
