The payment flows through the ECO. In such cases, on what value is TCS to be collected? Can TCS be collected on the entire value of the transaction

  1. Section 52(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 mandates that TCS is to be collected on the net taxable value of such supplies in respect of which the ECO collects the consideration.
  2. The amount collected should be duly reported in GSTR-8 and remitted to the Government.
  3. Any such amount collected will be available to the concerned supplier as credit in his electronic cash ledger.
