Frequently Asked Questions
What GST rate applies to CA (chartered accountant) services?
All chartered accountancy services — audit, tax filing, bookkeeping, advisory — attract 18% GST (9% CGST + 9% SGST for intra-state or 18% IGST for inter-state). SAC 998221 to 998224 cover these services.
Which SAC code should a CA use for GST return filing services?
SAC 998223 (tax preparation and return-filing services) is the correct code for GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, income tax return, and TDS filing services. GST rate is 18%.
Can a CA claim input tax credit on office expenses?
Yes. A GST-registered CA firm can claim ITC on office expenses — computers, software subscriptions, office rent, professional subscriptions — as long as these are used for providing taxable accounting services. Personal expenses are excluded.

Yes. Bookkeeping and accounting services provided by any person (CA or non-CA) to a business attract 18% GST under SAC 998221, provided the service provider's annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh.
