HSN/SAC Code
The HSN Code (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an internationally accepted system for classifying goods under various categories for taxation purposes. In India, it is used primarily for GST compliance. Each product type is assigned a specific HSN code, which determines the GST rate applicable to it. For example, garments, electronics, food items, and cosmetics each fall under different HSN codes.
If you're selling services instead of goods, you’ll need to use a SAC (Services Accounting Code) instead. SAC codes serve the same purpose but are used to categorize different types of services. Adding the correct HSN or SAC code ensures that your invoices are compliant and that the appropriate tax is calculated during checkout. If you're unsure of which code to use, simply click the “Search for HSN” button available next to the field to look up the relevant code by entering keywords related to your product.
Properly assigning the HSN or SAC code helps:
- Avoid GST mismatches or compliance issues.
- Maintain clear records for GST returns and audits.
- Improve transparency for your customers who see tax details on invoices.
Tiered Pricing (Optional)
If your product has tiered pricing, check the “Do you have tiered pricing?” box. You’ll be asked to fill:
- Tiered Price Type:
