Ans.The threshold of Rs. 7 Lakh is for the whole financial year for each buyer. However, for the FY 2020-21, this provision is effective from 01.10.2020. Therefore, any remittance made till 30.09.2020 will not attract any TCS. However, for computing the limit of Rs. 7 Lakh, remittances made from 01.04.2020 will be considered. Hence, if any person has already remitted Rs. 7 Lakh by 30.09.2020, then TCS will be applicable on every remittance made on or after 01.10.2020. In case remittances made up to 30.09.2020 is less than Rs. 7 Lakh, then TCS on remittance(s) on or after 01.10.2020 will be applicable on amount exceeding Rs. 7 Lakh.

Ans. Every seller of an overseas tour program package is required to collect TCS from the buyer at the time of debiting the amount payable or receipt of such amount by any mode, whichever is earlier at the rate of 5%. It is to be noted, that there is no minimum threshold prescribed for overseas tour package and thus, TCS is to be collected for any amount being remitted by the buyer.

TCS would not be collected by the authorized dealer on foreign remittances for Overseas Tour Program Package where seller of the package has already collected TCS from the buyer.

 

Q. Whether TCS is applicable on all foreign remittances?
