FAQ :

The amendments extending GST TDS to the metal scrap sector became effective from October 10, 2024.

A TDS of 2% is mandated on metal scrap transactions where the taxable value exceeds £2,50,000. This is 1% CGST and 1% SGST for intra-state transactions, or 2% IGST for inter-state transactions.

The threshold of £2,50,000 applies per transaction. TDS is required if the total value of supply under a contract exceeds £2.5 lacs, even if individual supplies are less.

The provisions cover registered persons receiving metal scrap classified under Chapters 72 to 81 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.

A separate GST registration in Form GST REG-07 is required. TDS deducted must be paid using GSTR-7, and a certificate (GSTR-7A) will be generated.

No, GST TDS is not applicable to the import of metal scrap from foreign countries.
