Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SAC code and why is it important?
SAC (Service Accounting Code) is a 6-digit code used to classify services under GST. It is mandatory on GST invoices for services and helps determine the applicable GST rate.
How is SAC different from HSN?
HSN codes classify goods (products) while SAC codes classify services. Both are required under GST for invoicing — HSN for goods and SAC for services.
Who maintains SAC codes in India?
SAC codes are maintained by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC). They are published in the official HSN_SAC.xlsx file on tutorial.gst.gov.in.
How do I find the right SAC code for my service?
Use the search box above to type a service keyword (e.g. "consulting", "advertising") or a code prefix (e.g. "9973" for financial services). The finder will match descriptions and codes across the official CBIC master.
What GST rate applies to a SAC code?
SAC codes identify the service category but the GST rate is determined by the rate schedule. Common rates are 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% — verify the current rate on the CBIC GST rate schedule before invoicing.
Can I use the same SAC code for bundled services?
When a single supply involves both goods and services, the principal supply determines the classification. Use a composite SAC code if available, or split the invoice between HSN (goods) and SAC (services).
