Are you in the market for a new name-plate, address sign, or house & society name board? Before you make a purchase, it’s important to understand the basics of HSN and GST rates. Not only will this help you choose the right product, but it will also ensure that you’re aware of any taxes or fees that may be applied.
Basics of HSN Codes
HSN codes, or Harmonized System Nomenclature codes, are a standardized system of classifying goods for tax and trade purposes. Essentially, they help to identify what a particular product is, and how it should be taxed.
When you purchase a name-plate, address sign, or house & society name board, it will be assigned an HSN code based on its characteristics and features.
For example, if you’re purchasing a name-plate made of wood, it will likely be assigned an HSN code of 4421.90. This code is specifically for “other articles of wood; wooden articles of furniture not falling in Chapter 94”. On the other hand, if you’re purchasing a name-plate made of metal, it will likely be assigned an HSN code of 8310.00. This code is specifically for “sign-plates, name-plates, address-plates and similar plates, numbers, letters and other symbols, of base metal, excluding those of heading 9405”.
If a product is made using a combination of materials - the HSN code of the more expensive component should be taken in to consideration.
It’s important to note that HSN codes can vary depending on the country you’re in. In India, HSN codes are used to determine the GST rate that will be applied to a product.
Introduction to GST Rates
GST rates, or Goods and Services Tax rates, are the taxes applied to a product or service. In India, there are four different GST rates: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. The rate applied to your name-plate, address sign, or house & society name board will depend on its HSN code, as well as a number of other factors we’ll explore in this article.
For example, if you purchase a name-plate made of metal with an HSN code of 8310.00, you can expect to pay a GST rate of 18%. However, if you purchase a name-plate made of wood with an HSN code of 4421.90, you can expect to pay a GST rate of 12%. It’s important to note that these rates can vary depending on the state you’re in, as well as any exemptions or special rules that may apply.
