Supply of goods/service, HSN code ?

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you manufacture wooden furniture like kitchen trolleys and beds, your business is classified as a supply of goods, not services. The general HSN code for wooden furniture is 9403. Furthermore, as your income is from manufacturing and selling goods, you are eligible to file under Section 44AD for presumptive taxation, unlike interior decorators who fall under Section 44ADA.

I am a sole proprietor, engaged in manufacturing - Kitchen Trolly (main product), other products- TV units, wardrobes, beds and other wooden home furniture as per customer's requirements (contract is = material + labour), I am confused as to will it qualify as supply as a service (works contract or job work) or will it qualify as supply of goods?

29 May 2020 Thank you so much sir for your reply...!!
Also in (relation to Income Tax part), will I be eligible to file my business income under section 44AD??
As Interior decoration activities are specifically stated in 44ADA, but the only difference here being that I am not providing any designing service(professional service) as such, as stated above it only includes supply of goods (which are used for home decoration) which also includes my purchase material labour component cost in it.

26 July 2025 Let's break down your questions step-by-step.

---

### 1. **Supply of goods or services?**

* You manufacture kitchen trolleys, TV units, wardrobes, beds, and other wooden furniture as per customer requirements.
* The contract involves **material + labour**.
* Such contracts are generally considered **sale of goods** with a **manufacturing job** component, **not a works contract service** or service supply.

**Why?**

* You are **delivering tangible goods**.
* Even if you are customizing furniture, the end product is goods, not a service.

Therefore, **it qualifies as supply of goods**.

---

### 2. **HSN Code for your products**

* Furniture falls under **Chapter 94** of the HSN.
* For furniture made primarily of wood, the commonly used HSN code is:

| Product Category | HSN Code | Description |
| ---------------- | -------- | --------------------------------- |
| Wooden Furniture | 9403 | Other furniture and parts thereof |

* More specific codes within 9403 may apply based on the exact type of furniture, but **9403** is the general code for wooden furniture.

---

### 3. **Income Tax – Eligibility under Section 44AD**

* **Section 44AD** is for presumptive taxation of businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crore (limit subject to periodic updates).

* It applies to **business income**, which includes manufacturing and trading.

* **Section 44ADA** applies specifically to **professionals** (like interior decorators providing professional services).

Since you are **engaged in manufacturing and sale of goods**, your income qualifies as **business income**.

Hence, **you are eligible to file under Section 44AD**, not 44ADA.

---

### **Summary**

| Query | Answer |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Supply classification | Supply of goods (manufactured furniture) |
| HSN Code | 9403 (Other wooden furniture) |
| Income Tax section eligibility | Section 44AD (business income) |
| Interior decoration services? | Not applicable (since no professional service provided) |

If you want, I can help you draft a sample GST invoice with proper HSN coding or assist with Income Tax filing guidance under Section 44AD.

Would that be helpful?
