Deal all in above discussion chain,
I also hold the view that legally there is no need to pay tax under RCM on supplies received from composition dealers as on date the GST Acts stand. But it is also true no such exemption has been extended to the business entities (BE) except when underlying supply is exempt i.e. all the taxable supply received by BE has to suffer GST.
When BE procures from composition dealer whose supply is taxable should also suffer taxes. The GST levy holds true. It is only in case of section 9(4), this found to be not covered i.e recipient has not be brought under ambit of deemed suppliers.
Hence, I expect an amendment sooner than later with retrospective effect. Assessees will have to pay the taxes.
This also finds more weightage in case where assessees are under duty drawback scheme and procures from composition dealers.........here those procurers will be in advantage position. There is also a theory that tax cost of composition dealers would be factored in value of supply.........but I haven't seen a good argument where such dealers are procuring from other composition dealers only.
Fingers crossed till some genuine justificatio or amendment moves in.

Ashok
