AI Summary

Tax collected at source calculation: whether TCS is levied on invoice value before or after VAT affects collection basis.
Whether the Tax Collected at Source (TCS) should be computed on the pre-VAT invoice value or on the gross amount inclusive of APVAT is the operative issue. The trader collected TCS after charging APVAT while the sales tax department contends TCS must be collected prior to charging VAT, raising a compliance question on sequencing and basis for levying TCS relative to VAT.
