composition scheme – Trader — paying 1% GST oN goods –also providing SERVICE getting resident rent — is taxable ? — if yes, at what rate, and commercial rent is taxable — if yes, at what rate?
Notification No. 2/2019-Central Tax (Rate) dt.7-3-19 says 6% (3%+3%) for Services or goods or both who are not covered under general composition scheme only allowed this rate first 50 lacs of turnover only thereafter no composition normal rate has to be apply. Further, for new comers Rs.20 lacs limit will not count for 50 lacs limit it means Rs.70 lacs is limit for new comers. Thereafter they have to apply normal rates.
Telangana is not suppose to be in the list mentioned along with other NE states
