The CBDT issued a notification amending Income-tax Rules, 1962, specifically Form 27EQ, to expand Tax Collection at Source (TCS) provisions under section 206C. The amendment introduces new categories for TCS collection, including sales of luxury and specialized items such as wrist watches, art pieces, collectibles, yachts, sunglasses, bags, shoes, sportswear, home theatre systems, and horses for racing. Each category is assigned a specific code (MA through MJ) for reporting purposes. The amendment becomes effective from the date of publication in the Official Gazette, enhancing tax collection mechanisms for high-value and niche product transactions.
