Small taxpayers with an aggregate turnover in the preceding fiscal year not going beyond as much as Rs 1.5 Crore are qualified for composition levy. Under the scheme, a taxpayer has to pay tax as a portion of his turnover in a state or union area during the year without the benefit of Input Tax Credit (ITC). The rate of tax for CGST and SGST under Composition levy plan is as under:
- Manufacturer = 2% (1% CGST and 1% SGST)
- Trader/Supplier/Vendor of Goods = 1% (0.5% CGST and 0.5% SGST)
- Restaurant Service just = 5% (2.5% CGST and 2.5% SGST)
A Manufacturer, Trader/Supplier/Vendor of Goods who has actually opted for structure levy can not gather any tax from the recipient and can not release a Taxable Invoice. Instead of Invoice, such Taxpayer has to raise a Bill of Supply. A little taxpayer might not go with structure levy even if his aggregate turnover in a fiscal year is within Rs 1.5 Crore. No service other than Restaurant Services is qualified for composition levy.
