Notes for This Preset
Software development, SaaS subscriptions, cloud hosting, and IT consulting fall under SAC 9983 (specifically SAC 998314 for IT design & development). Under GST 2.0, IT services carry an 18% GST rate with full Input Tax Credit (ITC) eligibility. For intra-state clients (e.g. Bihar to Bihar), the invoice splits into 9% CGST and 9% SGST. For inter-state clients (e.g. Bihar to Karnataka or Maharashtra), 18% IGST applies. Export of IT services outside India qualifies as zero-rated supply under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT).
How is the GST amount calculated?
To add GST, multiply the taxable value by the rate ÷ 100. To remove GST from an inclusive price, multiply the inclusive price by rate ÷ (100 + rate). For supplies within one state, split the result equally into CGST and SGST; for supplies between states, charge the full amount as IGST.
