Regarding TDS under GST for Metal Scrap


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
For purchases of metal scrap, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under GST is applicable if the value of taxable supplies exceeds £2.5 lakh per single contract. This threshold applies to registered persons, excluding specific government entities. The deduction rate is 2% (1% CGST + 1% SGST) on the amount excluding GST and cess.

10 October 2024 IS THERE ANY THRESHOLD LIMIT FOR DEDUCT TDS UNDER GST ON PURCHASE OF METAL SCRAP? IF YES, THEN WHAT AMOUNT AS THRESHOLD?

10 October 2024 The following enterprises have to deduct TDS at the rate of 2% (1% SGST +1% CGST) from the payment made or credited to a supplier for the taxable supplies of value greater than Rs. 2.5 lakh.
The limit of Rs. 2.5 lakh is for a single contract and not for aggregate value in a month or year.

Thus, individual supplies may be less than Rs. 2,50,000/-, but if contract value is more than Rs. 2,50,000/-, TDS will have to be deducted.
The value of supplies will be taken as amount excluding GST and cess.

10 October 2024 GREATER THAN 2.5 LAKH IS APPLICABLE FOR METAL SCRAP BY ANY REGISTERED PERSON OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT ENTITY. (AS PER NOTIFICATION NO. 25/2024 AS ON 9 OCTOBER, 2024)
