SAC Code 995427." canonical: "https://busy.in/sac-code-995427/" --- # Sports Facility Construction under SAC Code 995427 Part of [SAC 9954: Services in building & construction](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/). Stadium construction services cover the main civil work for outdoor sports grounds, arenas, racetracks and recreation complexes. Contractors handle earthwork, stands, pavilions, service blocks and basic facilities so that the venue is safe and ready for public events. Under GST, this work is classified under SAC 995427. The [**SAC code**](https://busy.in/gst-rates/) and its GST rate decide how much GST is charged and how the value is shown in GST returns. ## 995427 SAC Code GST rate Stadium and outdoor sports facility construction is treated as works contract or civil engineering service under GST. In the earlier phase, different funding models and bundled contracts sometimes created different effective tax positions for similar projects, which made budgeting and tax working more complex for contractors and authorities. After the September 2025 changes, construction of stadiums, sports grounds and outdoor recreation facilities covered under SAC 995427 generally comes under the 18 percent slab with input tax credit. This standard rate applies to most such projects, unless a specific notification offers concessional treatment for a particular public or social scheme. **The table below explains the current GST rate applicable to SAC code 995427 services.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 995427 | General construction services of outdoor sport and recreation facilities | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Construction of stadiums, sports grounds and recreation facilities under 995427 is covered by 18 percent GST as a civil construction service. Separate concessional treatment can exist for certain notified sports bodies, but these are not tied to a different SAC line. | While raising invoices for services under SAC 995427, contractors should show the taxable value and 18 percent GST separately so that eligible clients can [**claim input tax credit**](https://busy.in/gst/what-expenses-can-be-claimed-as-itc/) as per the law. The same SAC code and rate should be used consistently in GSTR 1 for outward supplies and in GSTR 3B while declaring the tax liability on stadium and sports facility construction services. ## Practical classification guidance In day to day use, businesses should pick the SAC code that best reflects the dominant nature of the contract. If the work is more focused on buildings, local site development or routine maintenance, another SAC within 9954 may be more suitable than this one. Correct SAC selection and GST rate application help reduce future disputes, support a clean input tax credit trail and make GST records easier to explain during audits or departmental checks. ## Conclusion Stadium construction services under SAC 995427 cover the main civil work for outdoor sports grounds, stadiums and recreation complexes. These services are now generally taxed at 18 percent with input tax credit after the September 2025 changes. Contractors and authorities should confirm that their projects are correctly classified under this SAC code, apply the right GST rate on every invoice and report the same classification in [**GST returns**](https://busy.in/gst/gst-returns/) . For special public or social schemes, it is sensible to refer to the latest GST rules and consult a tax professional. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is SAC code 995427 in GST?
