TCS, TDS & ITC explained

The three deductions and credits every online seller deals with - in plain language.

? What is TCS - and do I get it back?
Marketplaces hold back 0.5% of your sales as tax collected at source. Yes, it's yours.
? What is TDS - and how is it different from TCS?
Deducted from payments TO you. Marketplace sellers meet two kinds - both recoverable.
? What is an ITC claim?
Credit for GST you already paid on business purchases - it cancels out of what you owe.
