Businesses above this threshold, but still below INR 50 lakhs, are eligible for the flat rate scheme whereby they charge 6% on all turnover, but are unable to reclaim GST suffered.
The Council also confirmed for small businesses that the 2019 quarter 2 GSTR-1 return, which declares sales and purchases, will not be due until 31 July 2019. Any taxpayer above INR 1.5 crores must file by 11 July.
