SAC Code 9965 is used for billing, service agreements, GSTR filings, and claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) for service supplies under GST.
Services Accounting Codes (SAC) are mandatory on GST tax invoices for service providers under Indian tax regulations. Verify rate applicability with your CA or tax professional.
Suppose you bill ₹10,000 (taxable value) for transport and quote SAC 9965 on the invoice. At 5% GST the tax works out as below.
| Supply type | Tax split | Tax amount | Invoice total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Within the same state | CGST 2.5% (₹250) + SGST 2.5% (₹250) | ₹500 | ₹10,500 |
| To another state | IGST 5% | ₹500 | ₹10,500 |
The 5% rate has applied since 1 July 2017. Last checked against Ministry of Finance / CBIC on 6 September 2026. Try other amounts in the GST calculator.
