Composition Scheme under GST



Background
                                Sec. 10 of GST laws provides bit of relaxation from huge tax compliances and encourages small scale business to enjoy lower tax and compliances through Composition scheme. However, this restricts to do businesses within the state (no inter-state business).

Advantages

Ø  Small businesses and starts ups can easily opt this scheme and escape from maintenance of books and tedious tax calculations
Ø  Not required to raise taxable invoice under GST
Ø  Only two returns Quarterly and Annual (GSTR – 4 and GST R –9A)

Applicability

Any business dealing only in GOODS can opt for composition scheme (Retaurants also can opt). Also, not applicable for e-commerce business (but still we call Digital India)

Eligibility

Turnover in preceeding year not exceeding Rs. 75 Lacs

Registeration & Maintanance of books of accounts

Registeration is must for composite dealers. Need not to mainatain books of accounts

Rate of Taxes

Manufacturers – 2% (1% CGST + 1% SGST)

Suppliers (only Food items excluding Alcoholic liquor)  – 5% (2.5% CSGT + 2.5% SGST)

Other Supplies (Dealers and Traders) – 1% (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST)

Challenges under this scheme

Ø  No input tax credit as not eligible to raise tax invoice hence, purchaser may not be interested in buying
Ø  Restricted to sell out side the state (no Inter – state sales are permitted)

Ø  Tax is a burden on the dealer as this cannot be recovered
