SAC Code-99

Scope of SAC Code 99

SAC Code 99 covers a diverse array of services that do not have a distinct classification within the SAC code system. It serves as a catch-all category for services that cannot be classified under any other existing code. This code ensures that services falling under this category are not left out when it comes to taxation and compliance.

Applying SAC Code 99

To apply SAC Code 99 for a particular service, businesses need to identify the closest fitting SAC code for the service they provide. If no specific code matches the service, SAC Code 99 can be used. It is essential for businesses to correctly classify their services under the relevant SAC code to ensure accurate tax reporting and compliance.
