COMPOSITION LEVY UNDER GST
The Goods and Services Tax Act is likely to come into force with effect from 1.7.2017.
There are three types of return filing and tax payment options available under the GST Act to dealers and service providers:
· Monthly
· Quarterly (for Compounding options)
· Annual
Persons who want to avail input tax credit must opt for monthly basis and persons who do not want to avail input tax credit may opt for Compounding and a deductor under section 37 (Tax deduction at source), a casual taxable person and a non-resident taxable person may opt for Annual basis.
For the dealers paying tax under compounding levy there are certain conditions and restrictions.
