Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
No. A composition taxpayer cannot claim input tax credit, so CMP-08 tax is paid only from the electronic cash ledger.
Provisions and law
- Sec 10(4), CGST Act 2017A composition taxpayer cannot collect tax from the buyer and cannot claim input tax credit.
- Rule 87, CGST Rules 2017Deposits in the electronic cash ledger are made through the PMT-06 challan.
Analysis
Deposit cash by PMT-06 challan through net banking, UPI where available, or over the counter. TCS deducted by e-commerce operators is also credited to your cash ledger and can be used. Make the challan a few days before the due date so it reflects in time. Pay the exact head-wise amounts, CGST and SGST separately.
Conclusion
- Compute CGST and SGST for the quarter.
- Create a PMT-06 challan for those amounts.
- Pay through net banking or other modes.
- Use the cash ledger balance in CMP-08.
