# Aggregate Turnover vs Turnover in State/UT
This is a fine but critical distinction — one is used for eligibility, the other for computing the tax.
## 1. Aggregate Turnover [Section 2(6) read with Explanation 1 to Section 10]
Used to check eligibility for composition scheme.
For determining eligibility, aggregate turnover:
- Includes value of supplies from 1st April of FY up to date of becoming liable for registration.
- Excludes value of exempt supply of services by way of extending deposits, loans or advances where consideration is interest or discount.
### Special note for current-year applicability
Value of exports & inter-State supplies is relevant only for determining aggregate turnover of preceding FY — NOT of the current FY in which composition is opted (because the supplier cannot make inter-State supplies/exports while under composition).
## 2. Turnover in State/UT [Section 2(112) read with Explanation 2 to Section 10]
Used to compute the tax payable (at 0.5%/2.5%/3%, etc.).
Aggregate value of:
- ✅ Taxable supplies (excluding inward supplies on which RCM is paid)
- ✅ Exempt supplies within the State/UT
- ✅ Exports of goods/services
- ✅ Inter-State supplies of goods/services
But excludes central tax, State tax, UTGST, IGST and cess.
### Explanation 2 to Section 10 — exclusions for tax computation
- (i) Supplies from 1st April of FY up to date of becoming liable for registration
- (ii) Exempt supply of services by way of extending deposits/loans/advances (interest/discount)
