Services Accounting Code (SAC) and GST Rates

Under the GST Act, the Government of India has introduced a new GST law, which reviews and enforces the tax rates for various goods and services in the country as a whole. A particular SAC code that can be used by service providers in invoices or bills to make their services to individuals and/or companies is defined by each service delivered.

For each company, service accounting codes help to define the GST regime. For each service, a specific SAC that can be used by the providers in invoices for the services they provide is denoted. By understanding the SAC list and relevant GST prices, they would be able to bill the precise GST in the invoices. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) issues codes under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system to categorize various commodities. These codes are referred to as the Facilities' Accounting Code or SAC. For each of the facilities under the GST regime, there is a special SAC. Service providers may use these SACs for the services rendered by them in their invoices.

 

The following table lists the various SAC codes, as well as the relevant GST rates for them. The list of codes and usable GST prices outlined in the table below is given on the basis of data updated on 10 November 2017, following the 23rd meeting of the GST Council. In this post, we will look at what the Services Accounting Code is, the inclusion of services in the list of Services Accounting Codes, and also hear about the updated GST rates charged on different services under the Government of India's GST regulations. Services Accounting Code (SAC) and GST Rates

List of SAC Code and GST Prices on Services

We will take a look at the SAC code list, under the authority of the Government of India, for different services that are taxable under the GST regulations provided by the GST Act. The Services Accounting Codes (SAC) generally list all of India's taxable services. Therefore, this SAC binary format is made up of only a 6-digit numeric code. Every single service is recalled with the aid of this special SAC code system. This is also helpful, especially in order for individuals and businesses to be able to quickly provide invoices to their suppliers and/or consumers while delivering services.

 

Five GST rate slabs are essentially classified into services provided both to taxable persons and businesses under the GST regulations. In the slabs, the infrastructure levied on these five GST rate slabs decreased by 0 percent, 5 percent, 12 percent, 18 percent, and 28 percent respectively. This will be discussed in-depth in the later parts of this report as we begin to read more about the SAC code list and GST rates on services. It should be noted here that, for non-taxable services or services for which GST prices are not quoted, there is an 18 percent default GST rate in India. Below are the various SAC codes for the services included in the GST regulations, along with their corresponding GST rates.
