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.
Taxpayers having turnover exceeds Rs. 1.5 crore but up to 5.00 crore will be required to mention only two digits of HSN code. Taxpayers having turnover exceeds Rs 5.00 crore will be required to mention four digits of HSN code.
HSN codes are unique for each product. Under HSN, all the goods and services are divided into 21 sections, 99 chapters. Under 99 chapters there are 1244 headings and 5244 subheadings. Each item which is used for trade or commercial use, it is identified with 8 digit code using the HSN code rules.
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!
