GST Invoice Format for IT & Service Companies India

Service providers in India — including IT companies, freelancers, digital agencies, management consultants, and professionals — must issue a GST Tax Invoice for every taxable service provided. Unlike goods, services use SAC (Service Accounting Codes) instead of HSN codes to classify the type of service.

All services in India (with a few exemptions like healthcare and education) attract 18% GST. For intra-state service delivery, the tax is split as CGST 9% + SGST 9%. For inter-state supply, IGST 18% applies. The invoice must be issued within 30 days of service delivery (45 days for banking and financial services).

GST Registration Threshold for Service Providers

Service providers with annual turnover above ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs in special category states) must register for GST. Freelancers and consultants providing services to overseas clients (export of services) must also register, regardless of turnover, if payment exceeds ₹20 lakhs — but their services are zero-rated under LUT.

💡 Pro Tips for Service Invoice GST Compliance

  • Issue invoice within 30 days of service delivery (rule 47 of GST Rules)
  • Mention SAC code on every invoice — required for annual turnover above ₹5 crore
  • For export of services, file LUT annually and invoice without IGST
  • Keep invoice copy for 6 years as per GST record-keeping requirements
  • Use sequential invoice numbering — gaps can trigger GST audit
  • Mention whether TDS is applicable (Sec 194J at 10%) in the invoice notes

How to Create a Services & IT GST Invoice — Step by Step

1
Select Tax Invoice

Service providers must issue a Tax Invoice. Choose "Tax Invoice" as the document type.

Enter Your GSTIN & SAC Code

Register for GST if annual revenue exceeds ₹20 lakhs. Enter your GSTIN and use the correct SAC code (998314 for IT services, 998311 for consulting).

3
Add Service Line Items

Describe each service clearly — e.g., "Web Development Services — Month of June 2026". Use SAC codes for each service type.

4
Apply 18% GST

Most services attract 18% GST. Select CGST 9% + SGST 9% for intra-state or IGST 18% for inter-state supply.

5
Note TDS Deduction

If your client deducts TDS (10% under Section 194J for professional fees), mention it in the invoice notes.
