Record TCS on Purchase of Taxable Stock Items

As per the TCS rules, the TCS amount paid on purchases is not required to be shown in the TCS returns. Hence, while recording purchases made by paying TCS, you need to use the tax ledger created under Duties & Taxes, with Type of Duty/Tax as Others. On using this tax ledger:

• The tax amount will be auto-calculated as per the tax rate and the method of calculation defined in the ledger.
• The tax amount calculated in the invoice will not affect the tax liability in the TCS duty ledger.

Create TCS Ledger

To ensure the TCS amounts paid on purchases do not reflect in your TCS returns, you need to group the tax ledger under Duties & Taxes, with Type of duty/tax as Others, as shown below:

If you are using a common TCS ledger for stock items taxable under different TCS rates, leave the Percentage of calculation field blank. You can provide the TCS rates in the invoice.
