Sell products, provide services, or both? The GST mechanics differ in a few important ways. Here's a clear comparison.
GST applies to both goods and services, but the details — classification, place of supply, and some procedures — differ. Many businesses do both and need to handle each correctly.
Goods use HSN codes; services use SAC codes (starting 99). See HSN vs SAC for the full breakdown.
If you sell products and charge for services (installation, design, subscriptions), invoice each line with its correct code and rate. One invoice can carry both.
Confirm goods rates with the HSN Code Finder and check service SAC rates separately.
