Sir,

Please clarify some of doubts on TCS 206C

1. In our company we have practice of receiving advances for scrap sales, Can we deduct TCS at the time        of receiving advance or should we deduct it at the time of raising invoice. pl clarify?

      *Problem faced *:  a)Suppose we have received advance Rs.50000 tw scrap sales and tcs deducted at 1% for Rs.500 and paid.
                                Later invoiced booked only for Rs.30000, we are not sure of booking of bal 20000 in future.
                               Kindly suggest


b) Reg late payment of TCS: Suppose the TCS is paid belatedly, what is the @ of interest to be paid for the delayed period. Is it same as applicable to TDS at 1.5% pm or part thereof   OR any diff rate . pl clarify?

c)  Can we deduct TCS at the time of raising invoice , though advances are received initially? Is this practice viable as per the provisions of  Income Tax Act, 1961

The concept of TDS is whichever is earlier. The payment received or invoice raised whichever is earlier is the taxing point for TCS. 

For non collection of TCS or belated payment TCS, rate of interest is 1% for each month or part of the month.

See section 206C for more details.
