Accordingly, if the cumulative consideration for sale of goods (including sale of goods made prior to effective date) receivable by Dell (on or after the effective date) in a financial year(s) or if the cumulative gross value of goods sold (inclusive of taxes) in a financial year, exceeds the prescribed threshold, TCS would be charged / collected at the applicable rates on such consideration received / receivable or on such gross value of goods sold (inclusive of taxes), on or after the effective date. Dell / EMC, in accordance with the provision of the Act, reserves the right to charge / collect / adjust TCS through an intimation in any form including by way of a debit / credit note, invoice or any other means either at the time of the transaction or separately.
