Overview
This section covers Tax Collected at Source for India under the Income Tax Act, 1961. It starts with setup, then moves to calculation on documents and journals, then to adjustment and payment.
Two setup pages exist. One covers general manual and automatic TCS configuration: TCS rates, tax accounting period, T.C.A.N, assessee code, nature of collection, concessional code and posting setup. The other covers Section 206C(1H), which applies to sales above INR 50,00,000 with different rates for PAN and non-PAN customers.
Calculation pages explain how TCS applies to sales invoices, orders, returns and receipt journals. They also explain how threshold limits per TCS Nature of Collection work, and how Section 206C(1H) TCS is calculated on receipts. After posting, use the adjustment page to correct unpaid entries and the payment page to deposit TCS with the authorities. Start with the general setup page.
