Service Accounting Codes help to classify each service under the GST regime. Each service is denoted by a unique SAC which can be used by the providers in invoices for the services they offer.
Knowing the SAC list and the applicable GST rates will enable them to charge the accurate GST in the invoices.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) issue codes to categorise the different services under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. These codes are known as Services Accounting Code or SAC. Each of the services under the GST regime have a unique SAC. These SACs can be used by service providers in their invoices for the services provided by them.
The following table summarises the different SAC codes as well as the GST rates which are applicable for them. The list of codes and the applicable GST rates summed up in the following table is as per the data updated on 10 November 2017 after the 23rd GST Council meeting.
