## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 9029

It includes Taximeters and counters

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Taximeters and counters?

If your outward supply of Taximeters and counters is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Taximeters and counters?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

### Any import/export nuance for Taximeters and counters?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

### Do spares or accessories of Taximeters and counters follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

### How should I document Taximeters and counters sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Taximeters and counters to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.
