Understanding Amazon & Flipkart Seller Taxes

Selling on e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho in India involves multiple layers of deductions before the money reaches your bank account. As a seller, you must account for marketplace fees, 18% GST charged by the platform on those fees, and two statutory tax deductions: 1% GST TCS and 1% Income Tax TDS.

TCS (GST) vs TDS (Income Tax)

E-commerce sellers face two simultaneous 1% deductions:

  • 1% GST TCS (Section 52): Calculated at 1% on the net taxable value of the goods (exclusive of GST). This can be claimed as cash balance on the GST portal.
  • 1% Income Tax TDS (Section 194-O): Calculated at 1% on the gross amount of sales (inclusive of GST). This reflects in your Form 26AS and can be claimed while filing your Income Tax Return.

Example: If you sell an 18% GST product for ₹1,180 (Gross), the taxable value is ₹1,000 (Base). The platform will deduct ₹10 for GST TCS (1% of 1,000) and ₹11.80 for Income Tax TDS (1% of 1,180).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the 18% GST charged on Amazon fees?
Yes, the 18% GST charged by Amazon/Flipkart on their commission, fixed fees, and shipping fees is fully eligible for ITC. It will reflect in your GSTR-2B, and you can use it to offset your outward GST liability.
How do I claim the 1% TCS deducted by the marketplace?
The 1% TCS collected by the marketplace is deposited against your GSTIN. You must accept these TCS returns in the "TDS and TCS Credit Received" section on the GST portal to transfer this amount to your Electronic Cash Ledger.
