India GST: How does HSN/SAC work in Deskera Mobile App?


Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is used for the classification of tracked goods systematically. HSN is a 6 digit code developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), which is accepted worldwide.

The purpose of implementing the HSN Code/SAC in GST is to make GST more systematic in India and make it globally accepted.

On the other hand, Service Accounting Code (SAC) is used to classify services systematically. This code is provided for recognition, measurement, and taxation purposes. All these services start with a number 99, making it easy to differentiate between HSN and SAC.
