Tax Collection at Source or TCS, as the name implies, means
collection of tax at source by the seller or collector,
from the buyer of the goods. As prescribed under Income Tax
Act 1961, it is mandatory on the part of the buyer to pay a
predetermined value of TCS to the seller, while purchasing
a particular commodity. TCS is generally set for business
or trade in alcoholic liquor, forest produce, scarp, etc.
Various lease, license and contracts related to areas like
parking lot, mines and toll plaza also falls under the
umbrella of TCS in India.

TCS is generally collected when amassed or when paid,
whichever is earlier. The seller or collector who collects
the tax is required to deposit it in any of the designated

I run a small consultancy firm (partnership with my mother) from my residence address. My firm is not registered, but I do have a separate PAN for it. I do not have any salaried employees. I get work done by freelancers and vendors and pay them against invoice. My annual revenues are just about Rs 5-6 lakhs. I am aware that I would need to register for service tax once I touch Rs 9 lakhs. But I am confused about my obligation to get a TAN and deduct TDS for all vendor/freelancer payments. Are there any minimum thresholds for withholding TDS? Right now I pay 100% of invoice amounts. Please advise.
