What is Aggregate Turnover under GST?

In common parlance, turnover is the total value of sales in money value of a business. The aggregate turnover is a crucial parameter for deciding whether GST registration is required or not. The aggregate turnover is different from turnover in a state. The aggregate turnover is used for determining the threshold limit for registration as well as eligibility for composition scheme. However, the composition levy would be calculated on the basis of turnover in the state. Aggregate turnover is very important under GST Act because it is the basis of GST liability assessment.
