The Finance Ministry has permitted the composition scheme taxpayers to file a self-assessed tax return in
This is a big sigh of relief for the 20 lakh composition dealer as now they do not have the file the complicated GSTR-4 of seven pages every quarter. GST composition scheme is for all the traders who have registered for a different set of the tax rate applicable and are mainly service providers.
Among the total of 1.21 crore GST registered businesses, 20 lakh businesses which are registered under the composition scheme are required to file the CMP 08, therefore, here we provide complete guidance on the filing procedure of CMP 08 along with relevant due dates of CMP 08 for the upcoming months.Know the complete details on CMP 08 Due Date For January To March 2020.
Eligibility To Become Composition Dealer
Small traders, manufacturers and service providers can avail the composition scheme. 1% GST is leviable on turnover if the turnover of a taxpayer is up to Rs 1.5 crore. The value of turnover comes down to Rs 75 lakh for some States which comes under special category. 6% GST is leviable on turnover if the turnover of a service provider is up to Rs 50 lakh.
CMP 08 – A Move Widely Appreciated
CMP-08 is a statement cum challan which seeks information about outward supplies and inward supplies ( inward supplies under reverse charge) including the taxes paid on such outward supplies and imports along with interest payable. CMP-08 is a welcome move which was initiated in April 2019 so that it can be used from the financial year 2019-2020.
Easy Filing Procedure And Replacement of GSTR-4
CMP-08 has abridged and simplified the complete process of filing and replaced GSTR-4 which was initially mandatory to be filed every quarter.
GSTR 4 Revamped – To Be Filed Annually by 30th April
The GSTR 4 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 has been revamped by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and now the (Composition dealers) GSTR 4 will be required to file it by 30th April for every financial year.
| Period | ExtendedDue Date |
|---|---|
| Annual Return | 15th July 2020 (Read Official Press Release) |
Another Annual Return For Composition Dealer
The GSTR 9A is another annual return that must be filed by the composition dealers once a year for an appropriate financial year. Form GSTR 9A can be used to reflect any additional tax liability which is not disclosed in Form GSTR 4.
Since the applicability of both the annual returns – GSTR-4 and GSTR-9A is incoherent, any one of them can be averted.
According to the notification, 18th July is the due date for filing quarter returns of the period from April to June by composition dealers.
The due dates for filing CMP-08 are in the wings but the API has not been updated on the GST portal till yet. So, the taxpayers are unable to file their CMP-08 which may lead to a necessity to extend the due date for filing CMP-08(GSTR 4).
Update for Composition Dealers in 32nd GST Council Meeting:
1. The limit of the composition dealers has been increased to Rs. 1.5 Crore. This is applicable for 1st April 2019.
2. The composition rate for services sector has been fixed at 6 percent while the composition limit has been set at Rs 50 lakh.
3. The GSTR 4 return (Composition Dealers) will have to avail pay tax quarterly basis but the return will be filed only once a year.
These categories of taxpayers are not liable to file GSTR 4 including, Non-resident Taxable Person, Taxpayers liable to collect TCS, Input Service Distributors, Taxpayers liable to deduct (TDS), Composition Dealers, Compounding taxable person, Suppliers of OIDAR (Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval).

August 6, 2019
If you are registered as a composition dealer then taxes would be payable in aggregate turnover including on exempt supplies too. So in your case, tax should be payable on aggregate turnover of exempted supply.
July 31, 2019
In CMP 08 at S.No. 1 we have to write outward Supplies (including exempt Supplies). My concern …Should I pay tax on exempt supply also or I should pay tax on taxable supply only ? Suppose my total sales are 100 out of which 30 is exempt sales,should I pay tax on 70 Rs. or on 100 Rs.
August 1, 2019
In composition scheme under GST, composition rate is applicable on both taxable and exempt supplies.so in your case, liability arises on Rs.100

July 26, 2019
From F/Y 2019-20 onwards GSTR-4 becomes annual return & in place of
GSTR-4, CMP-08 will come which will be filed on a quarterly basis.
Until now CMP-08 is not available on the portal you may wait or may create
challan of the taxable amount
July 21, 2019
A composition Dealer has missed sale of 10 lakhs, (shown less) in March19. Now he want to make payment of tax with interest., How to make payment? In which chalan payment is to be done.
In new form CMP 08 there is no col. for amendment related to earlier returns filed. If payment on line is made, it will remain in cash ledger. Unless it is adjusted against liability of March 19, though payment is made now, the interest will attract till its adjustment.
Kindly suggest.
July 22, 2019
As the facility to upload data in CMP-08 is not available on portal, the only solution left is to create the challan for the same amount

Sir
I am a composition dealer, Monthly Turnover is below One Lac and Filing NIL Quarterly Returns ,is it ok or have to pay 1% gst ? Since Exempted up to Rs.20 Lac per Year
July 11, 2019
First of all, we would suggest you to unregister yourself from the GST as you have less than the threshold limit to avoid compliance. Also if you are doing sales of less than 1 lac still you have to file GST as per the required format and in no way, you should file the NIL returns as you have to file whatever the sales you are doing.

Sir,
On the GST portal I have watched continue my return period file is showing October to December but suddenly on GST portal I have watched to submit July to September file return and I have submitted nil return on the same time. so why did they deduct 440 late fees for July to September? I have got my GSTIN registration number on 7th September but on GST portal my return period file is continue showing October to December. In that case how can I submitted my GSTR4 return for July to September within 24 December?
Till now the late fees is not refunded.
May 28, 2018
As you have registered on 7th of September so liability to file quarterly return related to July-Sep return arise on you and as you file the return after due date that’s why late fees has been imposed, and if there any technical issue relating to your return period not showing on portal, you have to contact to GSTN.

April 19, 2018
