The taxable value normally includes base rental or licence fees, recurring usage charges and any service components that form part of the agreement price. After the September 2025 GST slab revision, most taxable rental and licensing services that do not enjoy any special exemption or concessional entry are placed in the 18% slab with input tax credit for eligible registered recipients. Service providers should still track the latest notifications to confirm if any specific relief applies to their sector. **The table below shows the latest standard GST rate for SAC code 997329 covering general goods rental services.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 997329 | Leasing or rental services concerning other goods | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Residual leasing of goods is shown at 18% in multiple SAC-wise rate lookups.
