Such withheld amount is to be deposited as TCS by the 10th of the next month.

Insights on GST TCS

All the businesses that are supplying services through an ecommerce platform will be liable for TCS.
When ecommerce suppliers store their goods at a common warehouse, they must include the details of warehouse as a business place while registering for GST.
The calculation and deduction rate of TCS is 1% of the net value of the goods or services supplied through the ecommerce operator.
For instance, a supplier sells his product worth INR 50,000 through Amazon. The entire amount would be collected by Amazon. This revenue would be transferred to the supplier by Amazon after deducting 1% tax (i.e. INR 500), which is called TCS. This 1% TCS would be remitted to the government. The TCS (INR 500) remitted by the ecommerce operator will be provided as credit to the supplier.
The amount collected by an ecommerce operator as GST TCS must be remitted with the Government before 10 days after the end of the month in which the particular amount was collected.
The amount which an ecommerce operator deducts as of TCS and remits to the Government is treated as credit while filing GSTR-2 return. Further, at the time of filing GSTR-3 or GSTR-3B return, this can be used to set-off the liability of GST.
It is mandatory to file GSTR-8 on monthly basis by the 10th of the next month, and annual return by 31st December following the end of every financial year. It is must to include details of outward supplies made by sellers through ecommerce platform and the amount collected as TCS.
