I am providing engineering consultancy services and my turnover is less than Rs 50 lacs for 2018-19.
Shall I be eligible for new composition scheme under which the GST rate is 6%. Pls confirm
Has the notification issued and if so pls share the notification
So the states have been given the option to adopt the new threshold of 40 lakh. If the states dont want it , then nothing changes.
I registered for GST last year as my turnover was bordering 20 lakh. Now if my state adopts the new threshold, can i opt out of GST ?
Pl confirm whether threshold limit for service providers raised from 20 to 40 Lakhs ? There are contradictory opinions expressed by different persons.
does the 40L limit apply to services also
