Budget 2023: 20% TCS on Foreign Remittance Transactions under LRS

[Spartan]

The Union Budget 2023 proposes a Tax Collection at Source (TCS) for foreign outward remittance under LRS (other than for Education and medical purpose) of 20% applicable from July 1, 2023. This will come into effect after the bill is passed. Before this proposal, the TCS of 5% was applicable on foreign outward remittances above INR 7 lakhs. 

We are explaining the concept of TCS and how it is adjusted with the below examples :

Example 1: If you plan to remit Rs. 20,000 then a TCS (Tax collected at source) of Rs. 4,000 will be applicable from 1st July 2023. Assume the tax on your income is Rs. 5,000 then the TCS of Rs. 4,000 will be adjusted and you will need to additionally pay a tax of only Rs.1,000. 

Example 2: If you plan to remit Rs. 20,000 then a TCS (Tax collected at source) of Rs. 4,000 will be applicable. Assume the tax on your income is Rs. 3,000 then the TCS of Rs. 4,000 will be adjusted and you will get a refund of Rs. 1,000 as part of the filing of your yearly taxes.

 

Note: The TCS is only applicable to foreign outward remittances (when the Indian Rupee gets converted into any foreign currency and sent outside India). It is not applicable to foreign inward remittances (money sent to India).

How does this impact you from 1st July 2023?

 

• If you are converting INR to any other currency for the purpose of investment in listed equities or any other purpose: As per the newly proposed Budget 2023, the Bank is required to collect TCS at the rate of 20% on the aggregate remittance amount during a Financial Year. Example: An individual wants to remit and convert Rs. 10 Lakh to US Dollars. The bank would deduct a TCS of 20% on Rs. 10 Lakh. The TCS would be Rs. 2,00,000 in this case.
• If you are converting INR to any other currency for the purpose of an overseas tour package: As per the newly proposed Budget 2023, the Bank is required to collect TCS at the rate of 20% on the aggregate remittance amount during a Financial Year. Example: You want to convert Rs. 10 Lakh to US Dollars for spending on overseas tour/ travel etc. The bank would deduct a TCS of 20% on Rs. 10 Lakh. The TCS would be Rs. 2,00,000 in this case. 
• For the purpose of overseas Education, and overseas medical treatment a TCS of 5% will be applicable for an aggregate amount in excess of INR 7 lacs being remitted.

Note: The TCS deducted by the banks can be adjusted against the tax payable while filing income tax returns (ITR).

The money deducted by the banks in taxes as TCS can be adjusted against your overall tax liability. This TCS can be claimed as an income tax refund or a credit can be availed at the time of filing the income tax return or for computing your advance taxes. The bank provides a TCS certificate at the time of deduction, which is used while claiming TCS in your ITR (Income Tax Return) filing. 

Example: An individual wants to remit Rs.4 lacs. A TCS of Rs. 80,000 will be deducted. While computing his/ her advance taxes or filing income tax returns, his overall tax liability is Rs. 2,00,000. As per the Income Tax rules, the individual can adjust the TCS against the overall tax liability. This means that the individual's net tax liability will be Rs. 1,20,000 only.
