GST Invoice Format for Consultants

A complete GST tax invoice for consulting and professional services. When you and your client are in the same state, it charges CGST and SGST at 9% each - worked out automatically.

CGST and SGST or IGST?

It depends on the place of supply. If it's in the same state as you, charge CGST and SGST, each at half the rate (9% + 9% for most services). If it's in another state, charge IGST at the full 18%. The generator picks the right one from your state and the client's.

SAC codes for common services

Services use six-digit SAC codes. A few common ones:

  • 998311 - Management consulting
  • 998221 - Financial consulting
  • 998313 - IT consulting
  • 998314 - IT design and development
  • 998361 - Advertising services
