Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a composition dealer is liable to pay GST on exempt goods. It's confirmed that composition dealers, particularly traders, are not required to pay GST on the supply of exempt goods like salt. They only pay GST on their taxable supplies of goods, at a rate of 1% of their taxable turnover.

Tax of 1% is payable even on exempted goods also
Hi sir but trader of goods registered as a composition dealer in GST is not required to pay GST on sale of Exempted goods.  Refer notification no. 01/2018 (
Can you please share the notification as I cannot see such thing mentioned in that notification
Sir notifications no. 1/2018 central tax
No Chethana Kumar. The Composition Dealer ( TRADER ) is not required to pay tax on Exempt Supply ( Salt in your case ).

As per Notification No. 1/2018 - Central Tax, dated 01.01.2018 ( amending the Principal Notification No. 8/2017 - Central Tax, dated 27th June 2017), the Traders who have opted for Composition Scheme need to pay “half percent of the turnover of TAXABLE SUPPLIES of Goods."

Therefore the trader is required to pay 1% GST on their Taxable Supplies of Goods.
Yes, trader is required to pay 1% GST on their Taxable Supplies of Goods only not all supplies.
