20 July 2024 In the composition scheme under VAT (Value Added Tax) in Delhi, the tax is levied on both taxable goods and services. Here’s a breakdown of how the composition scheme generally works in Delhi:

### Composition Scheme Overview:
1. **Eligibility**: Businesses with a turnover up to a specified limit (typically Rs. 1.5 crore per annum in Delhi) can opt for the composition scheme.

2. **Tax Rate**: Businesses under the composition scheme pay tax at a fixed rate on their turnover, which is generally lower than the regular VAT rate applicable to non-composition scheme taxpayers.

3. **Applicability**:
- **Taxable Goods**: Tax is applicable on all goods that are subject to VAT under normal circumstances.
- **Services**: In Delhi, the composition scheme also covers services, although the applicability of VAT on services can vary based on the specific services provided.

### Benefits of Composition Scheme:
- **Simplified Compliance**: Businesses need to file periodic returns and pay tax at fixed intervals, reducing the compliance burden.
- **Lower Tax Rates**: The fixed tax rate under the composition scheme is often advantageous compared to the standard VAT rates.

### Limitations:
- **No Input Tax Credit**: Businesses under the composition scheme generally cannot claim input tax credit on their purchases.
- **Restrictions on Activities**: Some states, including Delhi, may restrict composition scheme businesses from engaging in certain activities like inter-state sales or sales to unregistered dealers.

### Conclusion:
In Delhi, the composition scheme applies to both taxable goods and services, allowing eligible businesses to benefit from simplified tax compliance and potentially lower tax rates. However, it’s essential to verify the specific rules and rates applicable under the composition scheme with the Delhi VAT department or a tax consultant to ensure compliance with local regulations.
