# TCS on E-commerce Sales Calculator

> Calculate the 1% TCS deducted on your e-commerce platform sales.

Interactive calculator: https://awesomecalcs.com/tcs-ecommerce-calculator

## How this is calculated

Computes the 1% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) an e-commerce operator deducts from a seller's sale proceeds under Section 52.

**Formula:** `tcsAmount = grossSaleValue x 0.01; netAmountAfterTcs = grossSaleValue - tcsAmount`

**Variables:**

- `grossSaleValue`: Gross sale value through the e-commerce platform, INR

Reference: Income Tax Act, 1961, Section 52; ClearTax TCS on e-commerce guide (FY 2025-26).

## Assumptions

- This is income-tax TCS under Section 52, separate from the GST TCS provision (also 1%, but split as 0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST) that e-commerce platforms handle independently.
- TCS deducted is creditable against the seller's total tax liability at return-filing time, not an additional tax.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who deducts this TCS, me or the e-commerce platform?

The e-commerce operator (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and similar platforms) deducts 1% TCS from the amount payable to you as a seller and deposits it with the government, under Section 52 of the Income Tax Act. You receive your sale proceeds net of this TCS.

### Is this the same as GST TCS?

No, though they sound similar. This calculator covers income-tax TCS under Section 52, which is 1% and reduces the amount the platform pays you. GST also has its own separate TCS provision (also 1%, split as 0.5% CGST and 0.5% SGST), which your e-commerce platform handles independently on the GST side.

### Can I claim this TCS back?

Yes. TCS deducted is not an additional tax, it is an advance collection that gets credited to your account and can be claimed as a credit against your total tax liability when you file your income tax return, the same way TDS credit works.

### Does this apply to every e-commerce seller?

Yes, TCS under Section 52 applies to all sellers using an e-commerce operator to sell goods or services, regardless of turnover, unlike many other TDS/TCS provisions that have a threshold.

### What if I sell through my own website instead of a marketplace?

Section 52 TCS specifically applies to sales through an e-commerce operator (a marketplace facilitating transactions between sellers and buyers). If you sell directly through your own website without a marketplace intermediary, this specific TCS provision does not apply.
