GST authority introduced Composition Scheme to give relief to the small taxpayers. Composition Taxpayers need to file only one return i.e. GSTR 4 / Quarter and one annual return i.e. GSTR 9/ 9A/ 9B/ 9C.
There is no need to give details of Outward supplies (Sales) in GSTR 4, you need to enter only Total turnover in GSTR 4, upon which tax will be calculated.
