Exempt supply includes Nil rated (taxable at 0%) and non-Taxable supplies.

Section 2(42): Exempt Supplies: This has been defined to mean supply of any goods and/or services which are not taxable under this Act and includes such supply of goods and/or services which attract nil rate of tax or which may be exempt from tax under section 11.

Zero Rated Supply- Exports and supplies to SEZ

Nil Rated Supplies- Rate of which is defined as "Nil"

Exempt Supply- Wholly exempt from tax or non taxable under this Act. It includes Nil rated Supplies also.

If there is no difference in GST, then why in Table 8 of GSTR 1 return, details of nil rated, exempted and non Gst supplies details separately asked???

If fully exempted Dealer wants to register voluntarily and opts for Composition Levy, he has to pay tax on his turnover eveni if his all products are exempted. Also If he purchases any items from URD, he has to pay Tax on RCM basis.

In both the cases, Taxes paid by him becomes COST to him.

Which is beneficial for him - Normal Scheme OR Composition Scheme ?
