GSTN
enables Auto-population of HSN description based on HSN Code
The Goods and Service Tax Network
(GSTN) enabled the Auto-population of
Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) description based on HSN
code on the GST portal.
The main purpose of HSN is to classify goods from all over the World in a
systematic and logical manner.
The taxpayers have to prepare HSN-Wise Summary
to capture the Correct HSN and Rate.
W.E.F the 1st April, 2021, it has been
made mandatory for a GST taxpayer, having turnover of more
than Rs 5 crore in the preceding financial year, to furnish 6
digits HSN Code (Harmonised System of Nomenclature Code), or as the
case may be, SAC (Service Accounting Code) on the invoices issued for supplies
of taxable goods and services.
A taxpayer having turnover of upto Rs 5
crore in the preceding financial year is required to mandatorily
furnish 4 digits HSN code on B2B invoices.
Earlier, the requirement was 4 digits and 2
digits respectively. For more details, notification
No. 78/2020-Central Tax, dated 15.10.2020
This brings in a uniform classification of goods and facilitates international trade.
Now the section of the Auto population
of HSN Description consists of HSN, Description, UQC, Total Quantity, Total
Taxable Value, Rate, Integrates tax (IGST), Central Tax (CGST), State or Union
Territory Tax (SGST OR UTGST), and Cess.
