Frequently Asked Questions — GST Composition Scheme Calculator
What is the GST Composition Scheme?
The Composition Scheme is an alternative GST filing option for small businesses with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crore. Instead of regular GST with monthly returns and ITC, composition taxpayers pay a fixed low percentage on turnover quarterly and file only 4 returns per year (CMP-08 + GSTR-4).
Who should choose composition scheme?
Composition is beneficial for: businesses with B2C (end consumers) sales only, businesses with low input purchases (service providers, restaurants), businesses wanting simpler compliance, and small traders. It is NOT beneficial for B2B businesses whose clients need ITC, or businesses with high purchase GST to claim as ITC.
What are the restrictions of the Composition Scheme?
Restrictions: Cannot collect GST from customers (tax borne by business), cannot issue tax invoice (only bill of supply), cannot claim input tax credit, cannot make inter-state supplies, not available for specific services (non-restaurant). Penalty for wrong scheme selection: pay full GST + interest + penalties.
