It allowed the e-commerce suppliers to register under the composition scheme for intrastate supplies easing their registration hassles and for reducing tax outgo. The new composition scheme for e-commerce suppliers for intrastate online sales will be implemented on 1st Jan 2023, once the IT system is set up. It means that such intrastate e-commerce suppliers will no longer need to obtain mandatory GST registration if their turnover does not exceed the limit of Rs.40 lakh (goods) or Rs.20 lakh (services) or such lower limits defined for some states\/UTs. However, Interstate suppliers on e-commerce platforms shall have to obtain registration irrespective of turnover, compulsorily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DEADLINE EXTENSIONS TO COMPOSITION TAXPAYERS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>GSTR-4 for FY 2021-22 to get a waiver of late fee for filing up to 28th July 2022 as against earlier extension of up to 30th June 2022.<\/li><li>CMP-08 deadline for Apr-Jun 2022 (Q1 of FY 2022-23) to get an extension up to 30th July 2022 from 18th July 2022.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CORRECTION OF INVERTED TAX STRUCTURE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><td><strong>DESCRIPTION OF GOODS &amp;
