Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST rate applicable to composition dealers selling tax-free goods. Generally, the rate is Nil for traders on exempted supplies. However, manufacturers opting for the composition scheme must charge GST even on their exempted turnover, as per specific notifications.
If you are a Trader, then you are not required to pay GST @ 1% on your Exempt Supply Turnover.
Notification No. 8/2017 - Central Tax, dated 27th June 2017 was amended vide Notification No. 1/2018 - Central Tax, dated 01.01.2018, which clearly specified that TRADERS who have opted to pay GST under Composition Scheme are required to pay tax only on their "TAXABLE SUPPLY OF GOODS."
But Manufactures and Service Providers ( covered under Para 6 (b) of SCHEDULE II of the CGST Act 2017 ) are required to pay tax on their Exempt Supply as well ( except few transaction ).
