A trader operating under the GST composition scheme, paying 1% tax on sales, is seeking clarification on the applicable GST rate for commercial rental income. They understand the 1% rate applies to trading activities but are unsure if it extends to rental income, which is not considered trading. The query aims to determine whether the rental income should be taxed at 1% or a different rate, such as 6%.
