Before you set the rate in your billing software, match the code to the item exactly: the first four digits name the heading, and the six- or eight-digit line decides the rate where a heading is split. When your supplier invoice shows a longer code, use that one.
Billing home appliances correctly
- Print the HSN or SAC code on every line (4 digits up to ₹5 crore turnover, 6 digits above).
- Charge CGST + SGST inside your state and IGST for other states — the free GST invoice generator does this from the place of supply.
- For a price that includes GST, take the tax out by subtraction with the GST calculator.
- Check every B2B buyer's GST number with the GSTIN checker.
