CBIC has now notified on 20th September 2018 that ‘GST TCS Collection Rates’ will be applicable for all ‘E-commerce Operators’ (not to be confused with the e-commerce agents) having GST registration, @ 1% and 0.5% of the total value of Inter-state and Intra-state Supplies respectively, by other suppliers where consideration with regard to such supplies is to be collected by such operator.
