Composition Tax under revised GST law

Sanjeev Singhal
Small Taxpayers Can Choose GST Composition Scheme for Reduced Tax, Excludes Sole Service Providers and E-Commerce Users Under the revised GST law, small taxpayers can opt for a composition tax scheme instead of the regular tax on goods, provided they are not solely service providers. The scheme simplifies compliance by allowing eligible registered taxable persons (RTP) with an aggregate turnover not exceeding 50 lakh to pay a reduced tax rate. However, it excludes service providers, interstate suppliers, certain manufacturers, and those using e-commerce platforms. All RTPs under the same PAN must opt for the scheme collectively. Participants cannot collect tax from recipients or claim input tax credits. The scheme requires quarterly and annual returns, and eligibility is strictly monitored. (AI Summary)

Revised GST Law under Section -9 provides that small taxpayer can opt for the scheme of composition tax instead of  opting for paying tax under the regular supply of goods. Here this should be noted that this option is not available to registered taxable person who is providing only service . By opting the composition tax scheme , one can save himself from all the hassle of exhaustive provision of GST Law.  Before we switch over to related provision of this section it is mandatory to understand the definition of Aggregate Turnover.

As per Section 2(6) , “Aggregate Turnover” means the aggregate value of all taxable supplies, exempt supplies , export of goods and /or services and interstate supplies of person having the same PAN, to be computed on all India basis and excludes taxes, if any, charged under the head CGST Act, SGST Act and the IGST Act, as the case may be;

As per Section -9 this scheme is available to RTP only.
