Tax Collection at Source(TCS) has similarities with Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), as well as a few distinctive features.
TDS refers to the tax which is deducted when the recipient of goods or services make payment or credits a supplier’s account under a contact etc., while TCS refers to the tax which is collected by the electronic commerce operator, when a supplier supplies some goods or services through its portal and the payment for that supply is collected by the electronic commerce operator.
The amount of tax deducted/collected is reflected in the Electronic Cash Ledger of the deductee/supplier respectively. There are many e-commerce operators like Amazon, Flipkart, Jabong, etc. operating in India. The goods or services belonging to other suppliers are displaced on the portals of the operators and consumers buy such goods/services through these portals. On placing the order for a particular product/service, the actual supplier supplies the selected product/services through the Operator to the consumer.
An electronic statement has to be filed by the e-commerce operator containing details of the outward supplies(sale) of goods/services affected through it, including the supplies returned through it and the amount collected by it as TCS during the month and file GSTR-8 within 10 days after the end of each month in which sale is made.
Also, the e-commerce operator is mandated to file an Annual Statement on or before 31st December following the end of the financial year.
Half percent for intra-state taxable supplies and 1% for inter-state taxable supplies on the net taxable value.

TCS is to be collected once the supply has been made through e-commerce operator irrespective of the date of actual collection of the consideration.
Yes, every e-commerce operator has to obtain compulsory registration irrespective of the value of supplies made by it. Further, it will also have to register as TCS collector on GST portal.
Supplies on which the recipient is required to pay tax under reverse charge are not liable for TCS.
Registration for TCS would be required in each state/UT as the obligation for collecting TCS would be there for every intra-state or inter-state supply. In order to facilitate the obtaining of registration in each state/UT, the e-commerce operator may declare the Head office as its place of business in that state/UT where it does not have a physical presence.
Composition taxpayer cannot make supplies through e-commerce operator. Therefore, the question of TCS in respect of supplies made by composition taxpayer does not arise.
TCS is not required to be collected on exempt supplies.
