<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- Easy Compliance:<\/strong> Under the GST composition scheme, the taxpayer is required to <\/strong>file GST Returns<\/a> <\/strong>and pay taxes on a quarterly basis. If you register as a regular taxpayer, you have to file 37 returns a financial year. Non-filling of returns will attract penalty. If you chose to register as regular taxpayers, then you have to file 3 returns in a month as well as maintain all records and in the case of taxpayers registered under composition, the scheme is required to file only quarterly returns, no such strict requirement for maintenance of records. You will save accounting<\/a> and compliance cost if you opt to register under composition scheme and thus you will not be worried all of the time about the record keeping and can focus on business rather managing GST compliance procedures.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Tax saving:<\/strong> Taxpayer registered under composition scheme can avail them of a concessional tax rate. Not like the regular taxpayer. The tax rate under composition for a taxpayer is nominal under the GST law.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Impact on B2B supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The composition supplier working under B2B Business model would not be able to pass the input received on the purchase of goods. He cannot raise a tax invoice and hence the GST cannot be collected from the purchaser. The composition scheme for B2B business would make them non-competitive. However, the composition scheme can be a good option for small details and would be right fit where there is a purchase from composition dealer and a sale to an end consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It can be concluded that the composition scheme has a prospect of being the growth driver for small taxpayers who carry intrastate transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
