Overview
The composition levy is an alternative way of levy of tax for small taxpayers who have turnover up to prescribed limit. The purpose of Composition scheme is to reduce compliance cost and bring simplicity and easiness for small taxpayers. The composition scheme is voluntary and optional scheme for taxpayer. There are various slabs of rates in GST like 3%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28% etc. But A taxpayer registered under composition levy scheme has to pay an amount equal to certain fixed percentage of his annual turnover as tax to the government. This tax has to be paid on quarterly basis. Such taxpayer does not have to maintain elaborate accounts.
Earlier, the composition scheme was available to only traders and manufacturer. However subsequently service providers were also included in this scheme.
Applicability
Only Traders or Manufacturer - Taxpayer having aggregate annual turnover up to Rs 1.5 crores (75 Lakhs for Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim Tripura) can opt for Composition Scheme. As per the CGST (Amendment) Act, 2018, a composition dealer can also supply services to an extent of ten percent of turnover, or Rs.5 lakhs, whichever is higher. The rate of tax for this category of taxpayers is 1% of turnover.
Service Provider: Taxpayer having aggregate annual turnover up to Rs 50 Lakhs can opt for composition scheme. The rate of tax for this category of taxpayer is 6% of turnover. But for restaurants, this turnover limit is Rs 1.5 crores and rate of tax is 5% of turnover.
Generally, composition scheme is beneficial for those who are dealing with B2C customers since B2C customers do not avail Input Tax Credit on their purchases. But those who are dealing with B2B should not opt for composition dealer since their customer will not be able to claim ITC on purchases and it will be costlier for them to purchase from Composition dealer.
