    Hello Ravi Tiwari, I need a clarification in this respect. There had been a notification 1/2018 central tax dated 1/1/2018 which says that a trader can pay tax @ 1% on taxable supplies. Can a person involved in providing exempt services of Rs.75 lakhs and trading in taxable goods of value Rs.40 lakhs (Aggregate Turnover below Rs.1.5 crore) during a year opt for composition scheme u/s 10 and pay tax @ 1% upon Rs.40 lakhs only?
