GST Composition vs Regular Scheme Calculator
Compare your net tax outflow, Input Tax Credit (ITC) eligibility, and invoice compliance between the GST Composition Scheme and the Regular GST Scheme.
Composition vs Regular GST: Key Differences
Small businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 Crore (₹50 Lakh for services) can opt for the Composition Scheme to reduce compliance burdens:
Composition Tax Rates: Traders & Manufacturers: 1% (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST) on total turnover. Restaurants: 5%. Service Providers (Section 10(2A)): 6%.
Key Restrictions under Composition: No Input Tax Credit (ITC) on inward purchases, cannot collect GST from buyers on tax invoices, no inter-state outward sales allowed.
Regular Scheme Advantage: Full ITC pass-through, B2B buyers can claim GST credits, free to sell across all states and e-commerce.
Formula
Composition Tax Outflow = Annual Turnover × Composition Rate (1%/5%/6%) Regular Scheme Net Tax = Output GST on Sales − Input Tax Credit (ITC) on Purchases
