Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to account for Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on purchases exceeding 50 lakh from a single supplier. TCS is not a direct expense but a tax that can be adjusted against your income tax liability, similar to TDS. It should be treated as a tax receivable and shown under 'Duties and Taxes' for future adjustment during income tax return filing, as it is refundable.
Tcs is in the form of tax which can be adjusted by the buyer against his taxability. So it should be shown under the head Duties and taxes which you can adjust at the time of filing your income tax return just like TDS.
