Service Accounting Codes (SAC) - GST Accounting Codes

Our GST Service Accounting Code, SAC in short, was derived from the International HSN codes, which are also used by other nations throughout the world. Similarly, in India, the applicability of GST Service Accounting Codes for identifying the appropriate tax rates to services has been created. This classification of goods and services was done based on the many groups established, which are largely covered by the HSN code and SAC code.

The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) issues codes to classify the various services covered by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. Each service subject to the GST scheme has its own SAC. Service providers can utilize these SACs in their invoices for the services they provide.

In contrast to the 8-digit HSN code, the SAC code is a 6-digit number. The same information must be included in GST invoices and GST returns.

Here is the list of SAC Codes used in GST –
