A COMPLETE GUIDE BY LARES ALGOTECH In India’s taxation system, two terms often confuse individuals and businesses alike — TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and TCS (Tax Collected at Source). While both are mechanisms for collecting tax in advance, they are fundamentally different in how, when, and by whom they are applied.
INTRODUCTION TO TDS AND TCS Before understanding the Difference Between TDS and TCS?, let’s quickly grasp what each term means • WHAT IS TDS? • Full form: Tax Deducted at Source • Purpose: To collect tax at the very point when income is generated. WHAT IS TCS? • Full form: Tax Collected at Source • Purpose: To collect tax at the point of sale of certain goods and services.
RATES OF TDS AND TCS TDS RATES Vary depending on the type of payment and recipient. Examples: Salary: Based on applicable income tax slab. Professional fees: 10% (Section 194J). Rent: 2% (plant & machinery), 10% (land & building). TCS RATES Also vary based on the type of goods or services sold. Examples: Sale of scrap: 1% Sale of coal, lignite, iron ore: 1%
CONCLUSION The Difference Between TDS and TCS? lies in who deducts/collects the tax, when it is applied, and on what type of transaction. • TDS is deducted by the payer before making certain payments. • TCS is collected by the seller at the time of selling certain goods or services. Understanding both helps businesses remain compliant, avoid penalties, and manage cash flow effectively.
