What Is the HSN Code for Repairing Services

General home repairing services such as plumbing, carpentry and electrical work usually fall under other maintenance and repair services. Specialised workshops that repair specific types of machines or vehicles should use the detailed repairing HSN code that matches their main activity.

How Home Repair Services Are Classified under HSN Code

Home repair services are treated as taxable services under GST. When you issue a tax invoice for labour and parts, GST is applied on the total service value. If you show parts separately, they may need their own HSN code while labour continues under the relevant service code.

GST Implications for Repairing Services

Most repairing services are taxed at the standard service rate. Registered repairers can claim input tax credit on spare parts, consumables and tools used in providing taxable repair services, subject to normal ITC conditions. Correct classification makes audits and reconciliations easier for both service provider and customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do small home repair service providers need an HSN code?

If they are registered under GST and issuing tax invoices, they must show the correct service accounting code for their repairing services.

Are annual maintenance contracts and one time repairs under the same HSN?

Both normally fall under maintenance and repair services, but contract terms and tariff wording may decide the most appropriate subcode.

How should an electronics repair shop classify its services?

It can use the code for maintenance and repair of electrical equipment and charge GST at the applicable rate on labour and parts.

Are any repairing services exempt from GST?

Exemptions, if any, depend on specific notifications and periods. You should always check the latest rules for your type of repair service.
