GST THRESHOLD AT ’10 LAKH, LOWER RATES FOR TURNOVER UP TO ’50 LAKH
GST THRESHOLD AT 10 LAKH, LOWER RATES FOR TURNOVER UP TO 50 LAKH
- Traders with a turnover of less than 10 lakh a year are neither required to pay GST nor to take registration for it.
- Those with annual sales between 10 lakh and 50 lakh will need to pay tax at a rate lower than standard GST rate.
- However, the concessional tax rate would not be available for traders making inter-State transactions irrespective of their turnover.
- The quantum of concession will be decided by proposed GST Council which will also determine standard GST rate.
- For Northeastern States, the threshold could be 5 lakh.
This proposed minimum turnover levels for GST mean two things:
- Thousands of small traders below annual sales of 10 lakh would go out of the tax net as in many State VAT threshold is 5 lakh.
- Some of the tiny manufacturing units will come under the tax net given that the Central Excise duty is now payable only for units with 1.5 crore turnover.
