If registered person is eligible to take the benefit of this scheme, he shall pay GST at the rate of 6% (3% CGST and 3% SGST/UTGST) on his total supply up to Rs. 50 lakhs. If turnover from goods or services or both (mixed supplies) during the current year exceeds this limit, he shall continue to be eligible to avail of this scheme in that year. However, the benefit of concessional tax shall be available on the turnover of first Rs. 50 lakhs and the turnover which exceeds this limit shall be subject to GST as per the applicable rates.
The supplier opting for this scheme shall pay GST at the rate of 6% on all supplies made by him, irrespective of the fact whether such supply is exempt from tax or has different tax rates. For payment of tax, he is not allowed to claim the credit of taxes paid for inputs, input services or capital goods so procured by him. Meaning thereby he shall be paying GST at the rate of 6% from his pocket.
Where supplier has taken the GST registration for the first time, the presumptive tax at the rate of 6% shall be payable on the supplies made by him only after the date of registration.

Since the effective rate is 1 july 2017,what about the tax paid using the rates of 2%for manufacturers and non taxable supplies turnover of traders…….Should we ask for a refund of the same?
Sir,
a regular dealer can carry forward his GST credit in composition scheme, if he apply now ???
In my opinion the effective date would be the date of notification i.e. 01.01.2018 and not 01.07.2017 as stated by the author. However, if there is judicial precedent for considering effective date retrospectively in case of amending notification, the author may point out the same for benefit of all.
How it can be 1st July 2017…. Because if we read original and latest notification … There is no conclusion to say 1st July 2017….
what will be the effect for traders who have already paid 1% for 1st qtr
what will be the effect for traders who has already paid 1% for 1st qtr?
What will be the effect for traders who have already paid as 1% for 1st qtr ?
What does this Mean:
Composite Manufacturer will pay 1% GST in case of Local Sale and 0.5% in case of Inter State Sale
Also for Composite Traders 1% in case of Local and 0.5% GST in case of Inter State.
This is Retrosepective Amendment Starting From 1July2017.
Please Correct me if i am wrong. Thanks in advance
In notification nowhere it is mentioned that the effective date is 1st July,2018.
So According to me effective date should be 1st Jan, 2018 i.e. date of notification.
Whats your views ?
2018
I do not think the new rates are effective from 01.07.2017. but they are effective from 01.01.2008
The said Notification does not provide specific date for its effectiveness and hence 1 January 2018 is the effective date.
Dear Sir,
Please confirm the effective date of the this notification.
The effective date of the rate changes is from 1st of July 2018.
Or 1st of January 2018?
Effective date – 1st of July 2018. Is this correct????
More information on the implication of GST on service sector is requested.
Very good information. But more clarification with respect to service providers are required. Is it possible to update?
The effective date of the rate changes is from 1st of July 2018.
