A Glance through GST Form CMP-02 and CMP-08

In April 2019, a new tax payment process was prescribed for composition dealers to simplify compliance for them. GST Form CMP-08 was introduced in the month of April 2019 and was made applicable from Financial Year 2019-2020 onwards. It replaces the erstwhile quarterly GSTR-4, which was filed by composition dealers. Further, when a dealer seeks to opt for the Composition Scheme under GST, the government should be intimated about it. It can be done by filing GST CMP-01 or GST CMP-02. In this article, we shall discuss GST Form CMP-02 and CMP-08.

Purpose of GST Form CMP-02 and CMP-08

Form CMP-08

A composition dealer shall use this Form, which is a special statement-cum-challan, to declare the details regarding or summary of his/her self-assessed tax payable for a given quarter. It also acts as a challan for paying tax.

Form CMP-02

A taxpayer who seeks to opt for the Composition Scheme for a FY or during the middle of a FY should inform the government about their choice. This is to be done by filing this GST form.  If CMP-02 is filed in the middle of the financial year, the rules of the Composition Scheme are applicable from the month immediately succeeding the month in which CMP-02 is filed.
