What is a SAC code?
The Services Accounting Code is the classification for services under GST. All SAC codes start with 99. The first 4 digits are the heading (for example 9954 construction or 9987 repair and maintenance) and the 6-digit code is the exact service.
How many digits should I use?
The same rule as HSN applies: at least 4 digits on B2B tax invoices if your turnover in the previous year was up to ₹5 crore, and 6 digits on all tax invoices above that. Using the 6-digit code is clearer whenever you know it.
