GST return filing, exemption limit dates 2019: In a big relief to traders, the government has notified three changes to GST rules, including GST return filing and exemption limit deadlines and composition scheme limit. In a notification issued Thursday, the government declared April 1 as the last date for the implementation of doubling of GST exemption limit to ₹40 lakh. This will benefit a large number of small and medium enterprises. April 1 has also been set as the last date for traders to avail higher turnover cap of Rs 1.5 crore for availing the composition scheme. As per the notification, service providers and suppliers of both goods and services with a turnover up to Rs 50 lakh are now eligible for opting the GST composition scheme and pay a tax of 6% from the start of the next financial year (starting April 1).

These decisions, which have now been made official in the notification, were taken by the GST Council on January 10. The meeting was chaired by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and comprised of his state counterparts. The finance ministry confirmed in a statement that these decisions would come into effect from April 1. "There would be two threshold limits for exemption from registration and payment of GST for the Suppliers of Goods i.e. Rs 40 lakhs and Rs 20 lakhs. States would have an option to decide about one of the limits...The Threshold for Registration for service providers would continue to be ₹20 lakhs and in case of Special Category States ₹10 lakhs," the notification said.

GST Composition Scheme

Under the GST Composition Scheme, small traders and businesses pay a 1% tax based on their turnover. This can now be availed by businesses with a turnover of Rs 1.5 crore from April 1. Earlier, this was available against Rs 1 crore turnover.
