About SAC Group 9985 (Support services)

SAC (Service Accounting Code) group 9985 covers support services. Services supplied under GST are classified under 6-digit SAC codes — the first four digits (9985) identify the service family, and the remaining digits narrow the specific service.

Quote the correct SAC on every GST invoice for services. If a supply mixes goods and services, the principal supply decides the classification. Our experts can confirm the right SAC and the applicable GST rate for your service.
