This standard rate applies where concrete services are provided as part of a works contract, unless a specific notification grants a different treatment for a particular project type.

The same SAC code and rate should also be followed in GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B while reporting the tax liability on concrete services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about SAC Code 995454 and GST compliance.

What does SAC code 995454 mean in GST?

This code is for concrete services. It covers placing, finishing and curing concrete in slabs, beams, columns, pavements and similar elements. It includes ready mix concrete placement, pump operations and concrete finishing work where the main job is concrete application, not entire building construction.

Does SAC 995454 cover concrete laying and repair services?

Yes. Laying new concrete for floors, slabs or structural members, as well as significant concrete repair and jacketing works, comes under 995454. Small patch repairs inside a bigger renovation project may be covered under renovation codes, but dedicated concrete contracts usually use this code.

What GST rate applies to concrete services under SAC 995454?

Concrete services, as part of special trade construction under 995451 to 995459, are generally taxed at 18% with ITC under the current construction rate structure. Some older sources show different slabs, but consolidated construction rate references now treat this block uniformly at 18%.

Are ready mix concrete placement jobs also under SAC 995454?

Yes. When a contractor takes responsibility for pumping, placing and finishing ready mix concrete at site, that service is normally classified under 995454. The supply of RMC as goods has its own HSN, but the service element of placing that concrete is coded here.

Is ITC available on GST paid for SAC 995454 services?

Contractors can claim ITC on taxable inputs and input services used for concrete work. Clients can claim ITC when the concrete is part of a property used for taxable business, subject to section 17 rules for capital immovable property. For personal houses, ITC is not allowed.
