We study the compatibility of two-outcome measurements on finite-dimensional compact convex state space in the framework of General Probabilistic Theory. Our main emphasis is on the formulation of necessary and sufficient conditions for two-outcome measurements to be compatible and we use these conditions to show that there exist incompatible measurements whenever the state space is not a simplex.
