FAQs
It is a mandatory requirement under GST to mention HSN/ SAC code in the GST invoice. HSN code is mandatory for all, except with a turnover less than 1.5 Cr in a financial year and a taxpayer who have done GST Registration under the composition scheme.
It will be mandatory to report HSN code at two digits level for taxpayers having annual turnover in the preceding year above INR 1.50 Cr but upto INR 5.00 Cr and at four digits’ level for taxpayers having annual turnover above INR 5.00 Cr.
The first two digits represent the HS Chapter. The second two digits denotes the HS heading. The third two digits denotes the HS subheading. For deeper classification, Customs and Central Excise added two more digits to the 6 digits to make the code more precise, resulting in an eight-digit classification.
Hey @HarishMehta
From 1st April 2021, Taxpayers with an aggregate Annual Turnover of more than INR 5 Crore during the financial Year 2020-2021 have to mandatorily mention 6 digits of the HSN Code in all tax invoices.
Businesses with a turnover of up to INR 5 crore in the preceding financial year will be required to mandatorily furnish 4 digit HSN code on B2B invoices.
Hope this helps!
Hey @Dia_malhotra
Let’s take an example of Cocoa powder to calculate the GST using the HSN code.
Cocoa Powder per Kg = INR1,000.
HSN Code = 18 05 00 00
GST Rate = 18% (For Cocoa powder, not containing added sugar or sweetening matter)
Therefore, GST = INR180
Hope this helps!
Hey,
What are the consequences of not mentioning or incorrectly mentioning the HSN Code?
Hey @SonalYadav
It is very crucial to mention the correct HSN/ SAC Code on the tax invoices and Form GSTR-1, barring to do so may attract a penalty of INR 50,000 (INR 25,000 each for CGST and SGST) for non-mentioning or incorrect mention of wrong HSN/ SAC Code under Section 125 of the CGST Act.
Hope this helps!
