What is TCS on international travel packages?
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is 2% charged by the tour operator on the total package cost for international travel. It is collected at the time of payment and can be claimed as a credit when filing your income tax return.
Is TCS applicable on domestic travel?
No. TCS at 2% applies only to international tour packages, effective 1 April 2026 (FY 2026-27) under the Union Budget 2026-27.
Can I get a refund of TCS paid?
Yes. TCS appears in your Form 26AS. You can claim it as a tax credit when filing your ITR, and it will reduce your tax liability or result in a refund.
Is there a threshold below which TCS is not applicable?
Under the current rules (effective 1 April 2026), TCS at 2% applies from the first rupee on international packages with no threshold exemption.
Does TCS apply on flight-only bookings?
TCS applies when the transaction qualifies as an international tour package. Flight-only bookings through airlines directly are typically not covered, but a bundled package including flights may attract TCS.
