GST TCS Refund Service

GST Tax Collected at Source (TCS) Refund Service assists businesses in claiming refunds for excess GST TCS that has been collected by e-commerce operators or other businesses required to collect TCS under GST regulations.

Understanding GST TCS

GST TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is a mechanism where:

• E-commerce operators collect tax at the rate of 1% (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST) from sellers
• Certain businesses collect TCS when selling specified goods
• The collected amount is deposited with the government
• The seller can claim this amount as credit against their GST liability

When GST TCS Refund is Applicable

Businesses can claim GST TCS refund in the following situations:

1. Excess TCS Collection: When TCS collected exceeds your actual GST liability
2. Export Businesses: When selling primarily export goods (zero-rated supplies)
3. Exempt Supply Dominance: When dealing mostly with GST-exempt supplies
4. Input Tax Heavy Businesses: When input tax credits consistently exceed output tax
5. Business Discontinuation: When closing business with remaining TCS credit
