Hi Vineet, I also agree with Mr Imran. TCS is not be collected by a dealer from a dealer. He is very much right in emphasing that TCS is applicable only when it is sold as scrap obtained as a result of any manufacturing activity. Further your last answer it self answers your querry, You would see TCS is to be collected from a buyer and a buyer who is buying scrap from "further sale of such goods" is exempted from levy as per the definition of buyer provided by you. A dealer would definitely be buying it in further sale as the original buyer must have suffered levy of TCS from the source (manufacturer) from whome he had purchased the scarp.
