Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST liability on stock held by a composition dealer when their registration is cancelled. While a composition dealer typically pays GST on turnover and doesn't claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), Section 29(3) of the CGST Act states that cancellation doesn't remove the liability to pay tax on existing stock. The query focuses on the applicable tax rate for this stock – whether it's the composition rate or the general rate.

According to me there is no tax liability regarding closing stock on composition dealer on cancellation of Registration.
Because there is not ITC credit taken by composition dealer on that stock as they require to pay GST at prescribed rate on turnover.
As per GST provisions, Regular as well as Composition dealer both are required to pAy GST on closing stock at the time of cancellation of registration.
At what rate sir, i.e. either @ Composition or general
As per Section 29(3) of the CGST Act, cancellation of registration does not affect the liability of the person to pay tax or any other dues.
