Section 206C(1F) - TCS on Sale of Motor Vehicle/Luxury Goods

# Section 206C(1F) - TCS on Motor Vehicle/Luxury Goods

## Scope

TCS @ 1% on sale consideration when seller sells:

  • A motor vehicle, OR
  • Other notified luxury goods

of value exceeding ₹10 lakhs, from the buyer.

(No adjustment for GST is required — take sale consideration only.)

## Key Notes

  • Not applicable when manufacturer sells cars to dealers. Only applicable on retail sale.
  • Limit of ₹10 lakhs is checked at each purchase, NOT on aggregate sale during PY.

## List of Notified Luxury Goods

  • Wristwatch
  • Art pieces (antiques, paintings, sculptures)
  • Collectibles (coins, stamps)
  • Yacht, rowing boat, canoe, helicopter
  • Sunglasses
  • Bags (handbag, purse)
  • Shoes
  • Sportswear and sports equipment (golf kit, ski-wear)
  • Home theatre system
  • Horses used for horse racing in race clubs or polo

Worked example

### Example 1

Example: Maruti sells a car worth ₹12 lakhs (incl. GST) to a dealer. Is TCS applicable?

Answer: No. Section 206C(1F) is not applicable when manufacturer sells to dealer — only on retail sale to ultimate buyer.

### Example 2

Example: A jeweller's customer buys a wristwatch worth ₹15 lakhs. Is TCS applicable?

Answer: Yes. Wristwatch is a notified luxury good and value > ₹10 lakhs. TCS @ 1% on ₹15 lakhs = ₹15,000 to be collected from buyer.

### Example 3

Example: A customer purchases two cars from showroom — one for ₹8 lakhs and another for ₹9 lakhs in same year. Is TCS applicable?

Answer: No. ₹10 lakhs threshold is checked per purchase, not aggregate. Neither purchase exceeds ₹10 lakhs.

⚠️ Common exam mistakes

  • Aggregating purchases during the year — limit is checked per transaction
  • Applying TCS when manufacturer sells to dealer (B2B)
  • Adjusting GST from sale consideration — take full consideration
