Reconcile supplies, returns and GST TCS without confusing platform settlements with sales.
Preparation and filing of GST TCS details for the selected filing period.
Who is this service for?
GSTR-8 is the GST TCS return for applicable e-commerce operators. An individual seller using a marketplace should not assume it must file the operator’s return merely because TCS appears in a settlement. Confirm who has the reporting obligation before selecting this service.
Relevant audience: Applicable e-commerce operators collecting GST TCS. Start with the taxpayer category, registration and period; a familiar form name alone does not establish that a service is applicable to you.
What your expert checks
Which platform records matter?
Compile the operator’s relevant supply reports, supplier GSTIN details, returns, adjustments and GST TCS workings. Reconcile the data across the reporting period rather than using bank receipts alone. Net payouts can reflect commissions, refunds and timing differences. The expert needs a clear trail from the platform transaction report to the figures proposed for the return.
Why separate GST TCS from income-tax TCS?
Similar terminology does not make the legal obligations interchangeable. GSTR-8 belongs to GST reporting; the income-tax TCS statement has a separate form and analysis. The commercial quarterly scope must identify the applicable monthly GSTR-8 filings being covered. Extra registrations, earlier missing periods, system integration or a specialist platform-tax opinion should be separately agreed.
Documents to keep ready
A clear working file helps the expert ask relevant questions and reduces avoidable back-and-forth. Prepare these records for the exact scope you want to purchase:
- GSTIN and business details
- Selected return period and financial year
- Sales / purchase registers and relevant invoices
- Credit / debit notes, tax and input-credit records
- Prior returns and portal records where applicable
Use your consultation’s secure document facility when sharing records with the assigned expert. Do not put passwords, OTPs, personal identifiers or client documents in a public comment.
Before you approve the work
- Confirm that the operator—not simply a marketplace seller—is the relevant filer.
- Reconcile supplies, supplier details, returns and TCS for each covered month.
- Keep GST TCS and income-tax TCS obligations clearly distinguished.
Service options and purchased scope
| Service option | What it covers | Service page |
|---|---|---|

| GSTR-8 Return Filing — Annual | Applicable recurring filings for one agreed financial year. | View current plans |
Visit the service page for current plans and terms. A one-time plan buys its stated filing scope, not unlimited compliance work.
Annual packages, where offered, cover the named service for one agreed financial year. They do not automatically cover every GSTIN, another financial year, other filing categories or historical corrections. Access validity and the filing periods purchased are different.
How expert-assisted filing works
- Choose the right scope. Review the service, relevant period and final plan terms, or request a quote for specialist work.
- Connect with your assigned expert. After a successful eligible purchase, use the client dashboard to discuss the requirement and share the relevant records.
- Resolve the queries. The expert reviews the supplied information and asks for missing details. Review the proposed figures and required statutory payments before authorising submission.
- Keep the outcome and evidence. Retain the filed documents, acknowledgement and payment evidence relevant to the completed work.
No filing completion time, tax saving, approval or regulatory outcome is guaranteed. Incomplete documents, portal dependencies and unresolved facts can affect the work.
