What is a SAC code?
SAC (Services Accounting Code) is a 6-digit code the GST system uses to classify services, the same way HSN codes classify physical goods. Every GST tax invoice for a service should carry the correct SAC code on each line item.
What's the difference between HSN and SAC?
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes classify goods; SAC (Services Accounting Code) codes classify services. If you sell software, consulting, design, or any other service, SAC is what applies to you — not HSN.
Do I have to put a SAC code on every invoice?
GST Notification 78/2020 requires 6-digit HSN/SAC codes on tax invoices once your aggregate turnover crosses the notified threshold (currently ₹5 crore), and a shorter code below that. In practice, adding the correct 6-digit code from the start avoids having to fix your invoicing later.
This list doesn't have my service — where else can I check?
This tool covers the SAC codes most common for freelancers, agencies and digital-service businesses — the same list BillForge uses on real invoices. For the complete, official list across every service category, use the CBIC's own GST rate finder.
Is this SAC code tool free?
Yes, completely free with no login — the same code list BillForge itself uses when you're entering a line item on a real invoice.
