HSN vs SAC — what's the difference?

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes classify goods — a 4/6/8-digit code that identifies the product and its GST rate.

SAC (Services Accounting Code) does the same for services, and always starts with 99.

Whether you need to print the code depends on your turnover, but putting the right HSN/SAC on your invoice keeps it GST-compliant and avoids mismatch notices. New to this? Read how to make a GST invoice.
