Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HSN and SAC codes?+

HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) codes classify goods, while SAC (Services Accounting Code) codes classify services. Both are used on GST invoices and returns to identify the exact item or service being supplied and its applicable tax rate.

Is this the complete official HSN/SAC list?+

No. The full CBIC tariff schedule runs to thousands of entries with fine sub-classifications. This tool covers roughly 50 of the most commonly used codes across textiles, electronics, food, construction, and professional services as a quick reference — always verify edge cases on the official GST portal.

Why do some products show two rates for the same HSN code?+

GST rates for several categories (e.g. apparel, footwear) depend on the sale value per piece — items up to a threshold attract a lower rate than items priced above it, even under the same HSN heading. Check both rows for the relevant threshold before invoicing.

How many digits of HSN code should I mention on invoices?+

Businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore must mention a 4-digit HSN code, while those above ₹5 crore must mention a 6-digit HSN code on B2B tax invoices, as per the applicable CBIC notification.

Do GST rates on HSN/SAC codes change often?+

Yes. The GST Council periodically revises rates for specific categories through notifications. This reference reflects commonly applied rates as of 2026 — always cross-check against the latest CBIC notification before filing or invoicing for edge-case or newly notified items.
