Small dealers gst returns filing

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A small GST-registered dealer asked whether monthly GST returns can be filed on estimated sales at 1% instead of paying 18% on actual sales. The clarification was that regular taxpayers must pay GST on actual turnover, while 1% applies only under the Composition Scheme if eligible.

27 June 2026 * Regular GST Registration: GST payable at 18% on actual sales; estimated filing at 1% is not allowed.
* Composition Scheme: Tax can be paid at the prescribed composition rate only if the dealer has validly opted for the scheme and fulfills all statutory conditions.
* Please verify whether the GST registration is under the Regular Scheme or Composition Scheme before filing the returns.

04 July 2026 To change your GST registration from the Regular to the Composition Scheme, you must file Form GST CMP-02 on the official GST Portal before the start of a new financial year. You will also need to file Form GST ITC-03 to reverse any unclaimed input tax credit.

04 July 2026 Not in between the financial year. You should have selected it at the time of registration itself. Now wait till March 2027....
