Facts
E-commerce operators collect TCS under Sec 52 on net supplies through them and report supplier-wise in GSTR-8. The figures appear in your TCS credit on the portal, which you accept so it reaches your cash ledger.
Provisions and law
- Sec 52, CGST Act 2017E-commerce operators collect TCS on net taxable supplies made through them
- Sec 37, CGST Act 2017Details of outward supplies to be furnished in GSTR-1
Analysis
If the operator reports net sales of ₹8,00,000 and your GSTR-1 shows ₹7,40,000 for that channel, check returns, cancelled orders and timing. A gap can also mean the operator used your GSTIN for another seller's sales, which you should raise with the operator. Accept the TCS credit only after checking.
Conclusion
- Download the operator's monthly tax report
- Compare with your GSTR-1 for that channel
- Check the TCS credit shown on the portal
- Accept TCS and raise disputes with the operator
