It is often said that the small and medium businesses are at the heart of Indian economies’ demand and supply market. To cater to these small businesses and to provide a simplified and hassle-free scheme for compliance requirements under GST, the concept of a composition levy scheme was introduced.
The composition scheme is almost similar to the composition schemes prevalent in previous VAT regimes. It allows the taxpayer to pay tax at a fixed rate specified in law without allowing credit of taxes paid on inputs and input services and reduced procedural compliances.
