Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the mandatory use of HSN/SAC codes on tax invoices and in GSTR1 filings. For businesses with a turnover below £5 crore, 4-digit HSN codes are compulsory for B2B transactions only. Businesses exceeding £5 crore turnover must include 6-digit HSN codes for both B2B and B2C transactions, and report them in GSTR1 for both categories.

Above 5 crore , HSN is compulsory
Below 5 crore, mandatory for B2B only

For Business with Turnover less than 5 Crore

4 Digit HSN Code for B2B transaction is mandatory

 

For Business with Turnover more than 5 Crore

6 Digit HSN Code for B2B & B2C transaction is mandatory

 

Same is to be reported in GSTR-1 for B2B and B2C sales
