GST Rates on Services by SAC Heading (9954 to 9999)

Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) fixes central tax on services by heading 9954 to 9999. After the amendments in force from 22 September 2025 most services bear 9% central tax, listed services bear 2.5% (mostly without input tax credit), job work on diamonds bears 0.75%, and admission to casinos, race clubs and sporting events like the Indian Premier League bears 20%.

Notification 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate)

How the Rate Column Reads

Column (4) of the Table gives the rate of central tax on an intra-State supply of the service in column (3), subject to the condition in column (5). The tables below give that central tax rate and shorten the descriptions. Read the notification for the full wording of an item before applying it.

The last column doubles the central rate to show the tax with an equal State tax. That column is arithmetic: the State tax notifications are not read for this chart.

"No input tax credit" means the condition that credit of input tax charged on goods and services used in supplying the service has not been taken (Explanation (iv) in paragraph 4). Where an item prints two rates joined by "or", the lower rate carries that condition and the higher rate does not.

  • Items shown as omitted in the notification are left out.
  • Sl. 1, 2, 4, 14, 18 and 28 of the Table are the Chapter and Section headings and carry no rate.

Pick the central tax rate of your item from the tables above and enter the amount charged. For a flat or building sold with land, choose whether the amount includes the land.

Rates from Notification 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) as amended up to 15/2025. A service may be exempt under Notification 12/2017 or taxed under reverse charge under Notification 13/2017; neither is covered. Section 170 of the CGST Act rounds tax off to the nearest rupee.

  2. 2Check the specific items firstThe residual item of a heading applies only to services not covered by the items above it.

Practical

How to Use This Chart

  • Find the heading (first four digits of the SAC), then check the specific items before the residual item: the residual item applies only to services not covered above it.
  • Where a 2.5% item carries the no-credit condition, the supplier cannot take input tax credit on goods and services used for that supply.
  • For the items with two rates (8(vi), 9(iii)(b), 9(iv), 9(v), 10(i), 10(ia)), the supplier chooses between 2.5% with restricted credit and 9% without the restriction.
Not shown on this page
  • Exemptions under Notification 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and reverse charge under Notification 13/2017-Central Tax (Rate) are not shown. A service listed here at 9% may be exempt under those notifications.
  • Descriptions are shortened and the long conditions for real estate (Sl. 3) and the definitions in paragraph 4 (specified premises, hotel accommodation, restaurant service, goods transport agency and others) are not reproduced.
  • The text is the ICAI consolidated copy amended up to Notification 15/2025-Central Tax (Rate) dated 17 September 2025. The CBIC tax information portal list checked on 2 October 2026 shows no later Central Tax (Rate) notification amending Notification 11/2017. A notification not yet on that list would not be reflected.
  • The State tax and integrated tax notifications for services are not read. The "With equal State tax" column is the central rate doubled.
  • Compensation cess and the six-digit service codes in the Annexure (scheme of classification of services) are not shown.
  • The notification fixing the interest rate under section 50 is not among the saved texts, so only the ceiling of 18% printed in the section is given. Penalties under sections 73 and 74 for periods up to FY 2023-24 are not summarised.
