Composition Scheme under GST:
According to the section 10 of the Goods and Service tax law contains the provision with respect to the registration of a taxpayer under composition scheme and the basic principle underlying the composition scheme under GST is to reduce the burden of compliance for small taxpayers. There are nearly 8 million taxpayers they may be migrated from the current laws into the GST regime.
In India there are many taxpayers and they will have a limited turnover and may not have the requisite resources & expertise to comply with all the procedures mentioned under the GST.
Accordingly, the government came up with a composition scheme wherein any taxpayer whose turnover is below Rs 1.0 Crore can choose not to register as a normal taxpayer. Instead, she or he may opt to get registered as a taxpayer under composition scheme and pay taxes on their supplies at a nominal rate.
As per the Central Service and Goods tax (CGST) Amendment Act, 2018, a composition dealer can also supply services to an extent of 10 % of turnover, or Rs. 5 lakhs, whichever is higher. The above-mentioned amendment will be applicable from the 01/02/2019. Further, GST Council in its 32nd meeting proposed an increase to this limit for service providers on 10th Jan 2019.
