This discussion clarifies the application of Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on sales of goods, specifically concerning outstanding receivables. The key question is how to treat amounts owed before the TCS rules came into effect on 1st October 2020. The consensus is that TCS is applicable on the full outstanding amount, even if the payment is received after the effective date.
