GST Invoicing for Design Professionals

Whether you design logos, websites, mobile apps, or brand identities, every GST-registered designer must issue a compliant tax invoice. Corporate clients — startups, agencies, and enterprises — require a proper GST invoice with your GSTIN and SAC code to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the 18% GST paid to you.

  • Corporate clients cannot claim ITC without a valid GST invoice
  • Invoices without SAC code or GST breakup may be rejected
  • Milestone-based projects need separate invoices per milestone
  • Retainer clients need monthly invoices even for ongoing work

SAC Codes for Designers

All design services attract 18% GST. Choose the SAC code that best matches your work:

Design Service SAC Code GST Rate
Graphic design, logo, brand identity 998381 18%
UI/UX design, app design, wireframing 998314 18%
Web design (visual design only) 998381 18%
Web development + design (combined) 998314 18%
Motion graphics, animation 998392 18%
Packaging & print design 998381 18%
Advertising creative design 998361 18%

CGST, SGST, or IGST — Which Applies?

The tax type depends on where your client is registered:

  • Same state as client — CGST 9% + SGST 9% = 18% total
  • Different state from client — IGST 18%
  • Foreign client — Zero-rated (export of services, file LUT first)

Example

A Mumbai (Maharashtra) graphic designer bills ₹1,50,000 for a brand identity project to a Bengaluru (Karnataka) startup. Place of supply = Karnataka. Tax = IGST 18% = ₹27,000. Invoice total = ₹1,77,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What SAC code do designers use on GST invoices?

Graphic designers and brand identity designers use SAC 998381. UI/UX designers and web designers (building functional websites) use SAC 998314. Motion designers and animators use SAC 998392. All attract 18% GST.

What GST rate applies to design services?

All professional design services — graphic design, UI/UX, logo design, packaging, motion graphics — attract 18% GST (CGST 9% + SGST 9% intra-state, or IGST 18% inter-state).

Do freelance designers need GST registration?

If annual design income exceeds ₹20 lakh, GST registration is mandatory. Below that, registration is optional. Many designers register voluntarily because B2B clients (agencies, startups) need a GSTIN on your invoice to claim ITC.

Can designers invoice foreign clients without GST?

Yes. Design services to overseas clients are zero-rated exports. File LUT on the GST portal, issue the invoice at 0% GST, and claim ITC refunds on your inputs (software subscriptions, workstation, etc.).

How should designers invoice for multi-milestone projects?

Issue a separate GST invoice at each milestone payment. The invoice should describe the milestone completed (e.g., "Logo Concept Phase — Milestone 2 of 3"), the agreed amount, and GST at 18%. Keep a consistent invoice number sequence across all milestones.
