HSN code: meaning in solar

HSN stands for Harmonized System of Nomenclature, an international way of classifying goods that India uses under GST. Each kind of goods has a code, shown against the line on an invoice, while services use a SAC instead. The code identifies the goods, and the tax rate attached to it can change.

In more detail

Different lines of a solar job, such as modules, inverters, mounting structures and installation work, may be classified separately, and goods and services are coded differently. Ask your tax adviser which code applies to each line, and look it up on the official GST portal.

The code and its rate are not the same thing. A template that is reused for a long time should not print a rate beside a code, because the rate is set by notification and is read from a current source.

Where it shows up in the app

GST on a quotation is worked out from the rate set on each line. This entry is general background and does not say which code applies to any item.

Official sources

Rules and lists change by dated order. Confirm the current position at the source before you rely on it for a customer.

Your next enquiry is waiting

Set your company up once. After that a quotation takes a few minutes, and it already carries your GSTIN, bank details and signature.

Common mistakes

  • Printing a rate beside the code

    The rate is set by notification and can change, so read it from a current source and not from a reused template.

  • Giving one code to every line

    Modules, inverters, structures and installation work may be classified separately, and services are coded differently.

What to check before you send

  • Each line has a code your tax adviser confirmed
  • Service lines use a SAC, not an HSN code
  • The rate is read from the GST portal or the CBIC notification
