Sir im having a small shop of samosa jalebi and gulabjamun previosly i was paying 1%on turn over now wat should i do
in this article https://taxguru.in/goods-and-service-tax/composition-scheme-gst-updated-18-2017.html it is mentioned that 1% rate of composition fees is only for cgst part. While in this article it is mentioned that it is total composition fees which we have to pay. Please clarify
Dear Sir,
The rates mentioned in the composition rules are 0.50% , 1% & 2.5% respectively……..
Why we including same portion in both CGST & SGST……
I think if the rate is 1% as mentioned in case of manufacturers then it should be divided equally as 0.50% for SGST & 0.50% for CGST instead of 1% for both……
