11 April 2021 It is not necessary that a single HSN/SAC will have a single rate of tax. So select the correct SAC as per explanatory notes. And charge the correct rates as per notification. For further details you can mail me.

06 July 2024 The 6-digit SAC (Services Accounting Code) for “Printing of books / Journal etc. on job work basis” under the category with a 4-digit SAC of 9988 and a GST rate of 5% is indeed 998832.

However, you mentioned finding a SAC code 998832 under the same category (9988) but with a GST rate of 18%. This discrepancy could be due to different SAC codes having similar descriptions but differing GST rates based on specific conditions or contexts. It’s crucial to match the SAC code with the correct GST rate applicable to your specific situation.

To resolve this:

1. Verify the SAC Code: Double-check the GST portal or the official SAC code list provided by GST authorities to ensure accuracy.
2. GST Rate Applicability: Confirm the GST rate applicable to your business activity. If your business involves printing of books or journals on a job work basis, and you expect a 5% GST rate as per your initial information, ensure the SAC code aligns with this rate.
3. Consult with a Tax Professional: If there’s uncertainty or conflicting information, consulting with a tax professional or GST expert can provide clarification and ensure compliance with GST regulations.

In summary, while the 4-digit SAC code for “Printing of books / Journal etc. on job work basis” is 9988 with a 5% GST rate, the corresponding 6-digit SAC code specific to your activity should align with this rate. Verify the correct SAC code and GST rate to accurately report and comply with GST requirements.
