This discussion clarifies the GST rate applicable to flax printing dealers. Printing is considered a service, and under Section 10(2A) of the GST Act, dealers with a previous year's turnover under 50 lakhs can opt for a 6% GST rate (3% CGST, 3% SGST) in the current year, up to an aggregate turnover of 50 lakhs. This rate applies if printing is the predominant activity provided.
Printing is supply of service therefore not covered under section 10(1) ...as per section 10(2A) if py turnover is less than 50 lacs then in current year you will have to pay 6% GST (3% CGST AND 3%SGST) upto the aggregate turnover of Rs 50 lacs.
