If you are a registered freelancer (annual income above ₹20 lakh), you must issue a GST tax invoice for every client payment. Your B2B clients need it to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). Without a valid invoice, they lose that tax benefit — and you lose clients.
Services use SAC codes (not HSN). All attract 18% GST:
| Freelance Service | SAC Code | GST Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Software development / coding | 998314 | 18% |
| UI/UX design, graphic design | 998381 | 18% |
| Content writing / copywriting | 998391 | 18% |
| Digital marketing / SEO | 998361 | 18% |
| Photography / videography | 998386 | 18% |
| Management / IT consulting | 998311 | 18% |
| Video editing / animation | 998392 | 18% |
The tax type depends on your state and your client's state. Our generator detects this automatically:
Example
A Bengaluru (Karnataka) developer bills ₹80,000 to a Delhi startup. Place of supply = Delhi. Tax = IGST 18% = ₹14,400. Invoice total = ₹94,400.
As a service provider, you must register for GST when your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states). Below that, GST registration is optional — but many freelancers register voluntarily because B2B clients need your GSTIN to claim ITC.
Important
If you provide services through an e-commerce platform (Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal), GST registration may be mandatory regardless of turnover.
Freelancers with annual income above ₹20 lakh must register for GST. Below that threshold, GST registration is optional — but many freelancers register voluntarily because B2B clients need your GSTIN for ITC claims.
Most freelance services use SAC 998314 (software/development), 998381 (design), 998391 (content writing), or 998311 (consulting). Use the code that best describes your service.
Most freelance professional services attract 18% GST — split as CGST 9% + SGST 9% for same-state clients, or IGST 18% for clients in different states.
If your turnover is below ₹20 lakh and you are not GST registered, issue a regular invoice without any GST. You cannot collect GST without being registered.
Foreign clients qualify as export of services — zero-rated under GST. File LUT on the GST portal, then issue the invoice without any GST. You can claim a refund of ITC on inputs.
