TCS is now applicable on items including wrist watches, artworks, collectibles like coins and stamps, luxury transport like yachts and helicopters, sunglasses, handbags, branded footwear, sports kits, home theatre systems, and horses used for racing or polo.
Sellers of these specified luxury and collectible goods are responsible for collecting the TCS from buyers at the applicable rate and depositing it with the income tax department.
Buyers should ensure that the TCS credits are reflected correctly in their Form 26AS to facilitate hassle-free tax filings.
