Section 206C(1F): TCS on Luxury Goods and Cars
Section 206C(1F) of the Income Tax Act currently, explicitly addresses TCS on the sale of motor vehicles. In Budget 2024, this subsection has been expanded to cover the high-value transactions for improving compliance and collection efficiency.
Current provisions:
Section 206C(1F) applies to vendors who sell motor vehicles to retail consumers.
If the sale consideration for the motor vehicle is more than INR 10 lakh, the seller is required to collect the tax at the time of sale. This applies to all types of motor vehicles, including cars, bikes, and other automobiles subject to this tax.
Currently, the TCS threshold under Section 206C(1F) applies to sales exceeding INR 10 lakhs. This section prescribes a TCS rate of 1% of the sale value. This rate has been made uniform for all types of motor vehicles that meet the threshold mentioned below in order to have a consistent approach to tax collection from high-value car transactions.
Buying luxurious goods like as Gucci handbags, Birkin bags, Patek Philippe, Rado watches, and so on will attract TCS if the cost of the luxury goods exceeds Rs. 10 lakh. TCS is applicable w.e.f. 01st January 2025.
According to the Budget memorandum, the government proposes bringing high-net-worth individuals’ expenses for luxury goods under TCS (Tax collected at source) if the cost of the luxury goods exceeds Rs.10 lakh. The TCS on luxury goods has been proposed to be imposed to widen the tax base.
