GST India : TCS Solution

As per the Finance Act 2020, a new amendment was introduced with respect to TCS (Tax Collected at Source) for section 206C with effect from 1st of October, 2020. Tax collected at source (TCS) is the tax payable by a seller which he collects from the buyer at the time of sale. Section 206C of the Income-tax act governs the goods on which the seller must collect tax from the purchasers.

Business Background/Impact:

• Section 206C of the Income Tax Act requires the sellers to collect tax in relation to sale of certain goods like scrap, tendu leaves, and so on.
• Tax collected by the sellers is allowed as tax credit to the buyer of goods.
• Provision now extended to all goods with effect from April 1, 2020 under Section 206C(1H).
• Sellers to collect tax from each buyer at the rate of 0.1% on sale consideration exceeding 50 lac Rupees in a year.
• Sellers of Overseas tour packages are required to collect 5% TCS on the package amount if buyer provides PAN/Aadhar else TCS to be collected at 10% rate

The above stated provisions are not applicable in the following scenarios:

Configurations and Process overview

To configure the TCS solution on SD side, refer note 2948539 and its attachments.

To configure the TCS solution on FI side, refer note 2960994 and its attachments.

• Fiscal Year 2020-21

Posting billing document considering previous sale value (from 1 st April 2020 to 30th September 2020 – Total sale value for 206C(1H) goods)

In this case, the BAdI BADI_1IG_TCS must be implemented with methods GET_SALE_AMOUNT The sale value should be a fixed value for a combination of buyer-seller and it should not be changed after 1st October 2020 till March 31st 2021. This BADI implementation will not be in use after 1st April 2021 and can be deactivated.

• Fiscal year 2021-22

Once the fiscal year changes notes are implemented below methods from the BADI BADI_J1IG_TCS will not be called anymore,

• GET_SALE_AMOUNT: Which is used to fetch accumulation amount from April 1st to Sept 30th, 2020 for customers.
• SET_ACCUMULATION_FLAG: Which is used to identify if we have to reduce the accumulation amount based on STEUC if the customer is reversing the document that was posted from April 1st to Sept 30th, 2020.

The above BADI is only used in FY 20-21 as the TCS solution introduced in the middle of the fiscal year(Oct-20) which was used to calculate accumulation amount from April 1st – Sep 30th and to reduce the accumulation amount if any document is reversed which is posted during April 1st to Sept 30th, 2020. This is not required in FY 21-22.

Process Overview:

Threshold maintenance:

Threshold amount for the fiscal year 2021-22 can be maintained with 5.000.000,00 in the maintenance view J_1IG_THLDV.

TCS in sales order:

The solution is provided only for invoicing transactions so, TCS amount will be calculated in the sales order without considering threshold limit.

TCS in invoice:

• FY 20-21

For first invoice, TCS is calculated in the invoice considering the sale amount of the period from 01.04.2020 or 01.10.2020 passed through Badi BADI_1IG_TCS, If the total amount(previous sale amount + invoice value) crosses the threshold amount maintained in the view J_1IG_THLDV, TCS amount will be calculated on the excess amount for which threshold has been crossed.

Once the invoice is saved and the accounting document has been posted, the accumulation data will be updated in the J_1IG_ACCUMHDR and J_1IG_ACCUMDTL tables.

From the second invoice onwards, the sale amount from the badi BADI_1IG_TCS will not be considered as the accumulation amount for this customer has been updated in the J_1IG_ACCUMHDR and the same will be considered.

• FY 21-22

For the invoices posted in FY 21-22, TCS will be calculated once the threshold amount is crossed for the particular customer.

Cancellations and credit memos:

In Fiscal year 20-21, TCS solution was supporting only the billing document to be posted as first document for every buyer-seller combination (in each financial year) in order to create an entry in the accumulation tables – J_1IG_ACCUMHDR and J_1IG_ACCUMDTL.

In Fiscal year 21-22, you can create credit memo or debit memo or cancellation of billing or cancellation of credit memo or cancellation of debit memo as the first document and accumulation tables – J_1IG_ACCUMHDR and J_1IG_ACCUMDTL will be updated correctly.

TCS on Procurement

It is Legally not required to capture TCS in the incoming side as the seller will be depositing the collected tax against PAN/Aadhar of the buyer and the same can be adjusted by the buyer against his/her income tax liability. Here there is no Tax credit adjustment against payable and receivables unlike GST.

Refer the consulting note 2977148 for process and configurations details. Refer KBA 3010081 for queries/ issues related to TCS on MM solution.

TCS in direct FI postings:

FB70 and FB75 are the transactions that are supported in TCS on FI solution. Make sure you select “Calculate taxes on net amount” in FB00 transaction for correct calculation of TCS amount.

Journal Vouchers (TCS JV):

When you cancel a billing or credit/debit memo total sale accumulation amount for the customer can fall below the threshold amount, in these cases filed ADJ_AMT in table J_1IG_ACCUMDTL will be updated with the adjusted TCS amount.

You need to post a Journal Voucher in t-code J1IGTCSJV against the adjusted amount in which is updated in J_1IG_ACCUMDTL table.

Refer note 2958296 for process and configuration details on TCS JV solution.

Refer the KBA 2898812 under “Notes for TCS JV” for notes related to TCS JV solution.

Refer the KBA 3013277 to understand how the “Adjustment amount” field and “JV status field” will be updated in J_1IG_ACCUMDTL table.

TCS in next FY / subsequent fiscal years:

You have to maintain the below configurations for the next FY and for following subsequent fiscal years.

• TCS Threshold amount must be maintained for every fiscal year in the view J_1IG_THLDV.
• Maintain condition records with required TCS rate and change the tax rates for interim and target tax codes in FTXP.

TCS Reporting

Intermediate G/L and Final G/L

As per the TCS rule, any seller who receives any amount as consideration for sale of goods of value or aggregate of such value exceeding 50 lacs at the time of receipt of such amount should collect TCS at the rate of 0.1%(0.075% till 31.03.2021). So when the bills/invoices are raised TCS amount is posted to intermediate G/L and on receipt of such amount from the buyer, the TCS amount will be transferred from intermediate G/L to actual/final G/L.

You can use report RFUMSV50 to transfer the tax amount from intermediate G/L to Final G/L  upon Payment receipt.

Refer below notes to understand and how to use report RFUMSV50.
