Calculation Methodology & Statutory Rules
Compares total tax burden, Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits, and net profit margins under the GST Composition Scheme vs.
Regular GST Registration under the CGST Act 2017.
1.
Statutory Eligibility Thresholds: - Manufacturers & Goods Traders: Aggregate turnover <= ₹1,50,00,000 (₹1.5 Crore); <= ₹75,00,000 for Special Category North-East states.
- Service Providers u/s 10(2A): Aggregate turnover <= ₹50,00,000 (₹50 Lakhs).
- Composition Restrictions: Dealers cannot make inter-state sales, cannot issue GST Tax Invoices, cannot collect GST from customers, and cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC).
2.
Composition Scheme Calculation: - Tax Payable = Annual Turnover * Flat Composition Rate % (1% for Traders/Manufacturers, 5% for Restaurants, 6% for Service Providers).
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) = ₹0 (GST paid on business purchases becomes a non-creditable cost).
- Net Business Cost = Annual Purchases + Purchase GST Paid.
- Net Business Profit (Composition) = Annual Turnover - Purchases (incl.
GST paid) - Composition Tax Payable.
3.
Regular GST Scheme Calculation: - Output GST Collected = Annual Sales Turnover * Sale GST Rate %.
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) Earned = Annual Purchases * Purchase GST Rate %.
- Net Cash GST Payable = Max(0, Output GST Collected - ITC Earned).
- Net Business Profit (Regular) = Annual Turnover - Purchases - Net Cash GST Payable.
4.
Business Recommendation Logic: - If B2B sales percentage > 20%, Regular Scheme is recommended because B2B business customers cannot claim ITC on Composition bills of supply.
- If Purchase GST Rate > Sale GST Rate or heavy capital investment is involved, Regular Scheme yields significantly higher net profit due to ITC utilization.
