Frequently Asked Questions
When do I use HSN vs SAC?
HSN for goods (physical products). SAC for services. If your business does both (e.g. mobile shop selling phones + offering paid repairs), use HSN for product sales and SAC for repair-service revenue, both on the same invoice in separate line items.

Most services are 18%, but: 5% for transport-of-goods (GTA), 12% for some restaurant services, 18% for most professional / IT services, 28% for luxury services (5-star hotel rooms, gambling). Some services are exempt: educational, healthcare (mostly), agricultural.
