Traders under composition pay 1 percent (0.5 percent CGST and 0.5 percent SGST) on turnover of taxable goods in the State. Exempt items are left out for traders.

Provisions

Rule 7, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 10(1), CGST Act 2017

Analysis

If ₹12 lakh includes ₹2 lakh of exempt items like fresh vegetables or loose grains, tax is 1 percent of ₹10 lakh, which is ₹10,000: ₹5,000 CGST and ₹5,000 SGST. Keep the exempt and taxable sales separate in your daily record. For manufacturers, the 1 percent applies on turnover in the State. Check the latest rule wording for your category.
