to small businesses so that they need not be burdened with the compliance
provisions under the law. Thus, an option has been provided where they can opt
to pay a fixed percentage of turnover as fees in lieu of tax and be relieved from
the detailed compliance of the provisions of law. Composition levy would be
generally opted by persons who are supplying goods & services or both to the
end consumer.
The conditions for opting Composition scheme under GST are as follows:
a) The person opting for composition levy should be a registered person.
b) Aggregate turnover of registered person should be below 1.5cr in in case of

5%

14. WHAT IS REVERSE CHARGE?

levied upon the supplier. In certain cases, the
tax is levied upon the buyer of the goods.

15.  Composite supply:- refers to a supply that
comprises of 2 or more goods or services
which are bundled and supplied together.
 A mixed supply :-refers when 2 or more
individual supplies of goods or services
are made together with each other by a
taxable person, for a single price
 Continuous supply:-When goods and
services are offered or supplied
periodically (that is every fortnight or every
month, etc.), and payments are also made
periodically.

16. WHAT IS A COMPLIANCE RATING?

rating that is given to all registered
taxpayers. This rating tells you how
complaint the supplier will be with respect to
GST provisions. This gives an option for the
buyer to choose the seller based on the GST
compliance rating

pay service tax on most of their cost, but cannot charge input
credit on creative services (payments to artists etc) as they fall
under the negative list.

tax charge on insurance policy premium is around 14
percent then under GST, the rate could go up to the 18
percent. Therefore, overall insurance policies could
become costlier

33. AIRLINES
 Currently, an airline needs to pay 6% service tax on
economy class tickets and 9% on business class, which is
transferred to the customer.
"A normal airline company would pay 15.5%, but airlines
get a 60% relaxation on economy class tickets and 40% on
business class, hence they have to pay 6%-9%. While the
government hasn't yet specified taxes for specific
industries, the normal GST is supposed to be at 18-20.So
Airlines might come under the 18-20 bracket (instead of
6%-9% now), which will lead to higher ticket prices.
 Impact on Consumers : Increase in price,
effectively doubling the tax rate.

34. E-COMMERCE
 Experts believe that GST may increase administrative costs
for e-commerce companies as GST makes obligation to
collect Tax Collection at source , this may disrupt the
