- The GST composition scheme is a simplified taxation structure for small businesses in India.
- Businesses with an annual turnover of up to ₹1.5 crore can opt for the composition scheme.
- Service providers (except restaurants) have a turnover threshold of ₹50 lakh and a GST rate of 6%.
- Eligible taxpayers can pay GST at subsidised rates of 1%, 5%, or 6% depending on their sector.
- Reduced rates do not apply to transactions covered under the reverse charge mechanism.
- Compliance requirements include quarterly payment of GST and annual filing of Form GSTR-4.
- Composition dealers must label themselves as “composition taxable persons” and cannot issue tax invoices.
- Restrictions include not supplying goods not taxable under GST and not collecting GST from customers.
- Ineligible taxpayers include those with aggregate turnovers exceeding the threshold and manufacturers/traders of certain goods.
- The composition scheme applies at the PAN level based on the primary nature of the business.
