The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ) has notified the extension for filing returns by the composition dealers in Form CMP-08.

The composition taxpayers shall furnish a statement, every quarter or, as the case may be, part thereof containing the details of payment of self-assessed tax in FORM GST CMP-08 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, till the 18th day of the month succeeding such quarter.

Under the GST regime rolled out from 1st July 2017, the composition scheme is an alternative method of tax levy under GST designed to simplify compliance and reduce compliance costs for small taxpayers. The main feature of this scheme is that the business or person who has opted to pay tax under this scheme can pay tax at a flat percentage of turnover every quarter, instead of paying tax at a normal rate every month.
