Composition scheme under gst

1.Composition dealer cannot take credit of input taxes.So no filing required under transition rules.

2.GST applicable from 1st July only.So eventhough RCM applicable ,it doesnt apply on opening stock.Purchase from u n registered dealer after July 1st will attract RCM and a composition dealer is required to file quaterly returns.

A dealer trading in textiles which was tax free in vat regime having turnover more than 75 lakh during previous year i.e. 2016-17. Now he is applying for registration under GST, can he opt for composition as a new dealer ?
If yes then any liability on closing stock of textiles ?
Considering new registration whether condition of preceeding year turnover is applicable to such dealer ?
Please reply & clarify the issue.

Cannot opt for composition scheme as previous year turnover exceeds RS.75 lacks.Normal registartion required,pay gst on sale of such closing stock.

As per Composition Rules - Rule 5 (1) The person exercising the option to pay tax under section 10 shall comply with the following conditions, namely:-

(c) the goods held in stock by him have not been purchased from an unregistered supplier and where purchased, he pays the tax under sub-section (4) of section 9.

It means he has to pay tax on Stock (if any from URD) available immediately before opting for Compopsition Scheme on RCM basis.

If he pays, where to show these details?

Please explain

The dealer has to file Form CMP-3 within 60 days showing details of all RD & URD purchases. In this form he can show the payment details under RCM on urd purchases.

Not purchases details of closing stock he has to show on Form CMP-03

But CMP-03 is only for persons registered under the Existing Acts and migrating to Composition Scheme under GST.

I am talking about persons not regsitered under the Old Acts.
