State the rate of tax for collection of tax at source applicable to electronic commerce operator under CGST Act, under SGST Act and under IGST Act, 2017. Also specify when and on what value the rate of tax for collection at source will be applicable.
Answer & Explanation:
Tax Collected at Source (TCS) under GST law Under Section 52 of the CGST Act, 2017, every electronic commerce operator, not being an agent, shall collect an amount calculated at such rate not exceeding one per cent., as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council. However, on the recommendations of the Council, the Government has issued notifications whereby it has fixed rate of TCS @ 0.5% under CGST Act and 0.5% under SGST Act, in case of intra-state supplies, and @ 1% under IGST Act, in case of inter-state supplies. TCS would be calculated on the net value of taxable supplies made through the electronic commerce where the consideration with respect to such supplies is to be collected by the electronic commerce operator. The net value of taxable supplies is the aggregate value of taxable supplies of goods or services or both made during any month by all registered taxable persons through the operator as reduced by the aggregate value of taxable supplies returned to the suppliers during the said month. It has also been clarified that net value for the purpose of Section 52 shall not include TCS collected under the Income Tax Act. TCS shall be collected by the Operator while paying to the supplier the price of the product/services.
