This discussion clarifies whether Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on travel expenses can be deducted when filing income tax returns (ITR). The consensus is that it is eligible for deduction, especially when reflected in your company's Form 26AS. The applicable TCS rate for overseas travel packages is 5% for amounts up to ₹10 lakh, and 20% for amounts exceeding ₹10 lakh.
