Broadcasting services under SAC 998465 refer to transmitting audio and video signals for TV, radio and similar media networks. Service providers manage towers, satellite links and digital networks that carry channels and radio services from studios to homes, vehicles and mobile devices. Charges for general TV and radio broadcasting services or wider media broadcasting should be mapped to this SAC code with the appropriate GST rate so that network agreements and tax calculations remain aligned. ## 998465 SAC Code GST rate Under GST, this SAC covers general broadcasting services where the main supply is transmission and distribution of audio or video signals. The taxable value usually includes carriage fees, signal distribution charges, capacity charges, network service fees and other consideration linked to broadcasting infrastructure and services. After the September 2025 GST changes, broadcasting services covered by this code that do not enjoy specific exemptions are usually taxed at 18%. Where both the broadcaster and the recipient are registered and the service is used for taxable business activities, the recipient can normally claim input tax credit on the GST charged, subject to usual conditions. **The table below captures the standard GST rate now applicable to this SAC in regular taxable cases.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 998465 | Broadcasting services | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Generic broadcasting (transmission of radio/TV content) is treated as a standard telecom / broadcasting service in the 18% slab. Any mention of 5% or nil is tied to specially certified sports-event work. | In day to day billing, service providers should clearly describe the broadcasting service, mention SAC 998465 on invoices and apply 18% GST where the supply is taxable to keep accounts and periodic GST filings aligned. ## Practical classification guidance Broadcasting service providers should generally select this code when the primary service is transmission and distribution of signals. When the main focus is content creation, news gathering, online information portals or running specific television or radio channels, a different SAC code from the same heading may be more appropriate. ## Conclusion This code is meant for broadcasting services where the key activity is carrying and distributing TV, radio or similar signals to viewers and listeners. These services are usually liable to 18% GST, so correctly using this code and rate helps broadcasters, distributors and corporate customers keep contracts and tax positions in sync. For complex network sharing or cross border broadcasting arrangements, it is sensible to document the scope clearly and obtain proper GST advice. ## Explore more ### Other SAC services under 9984 - [998411: Carrier](https://busy.in/sac-code-998411/) - [998412: Fixed Line Telephone](https://busy.in/sac-code-998412/) - [998413: Mobile Telecom](https://busy.in/sac-code-998413/) - [998414: Private Network](https://busy.in/sac-code-998414/) - [998415: Data Transmission](https://busy.in/sac-code-998415/) - [998419: Telecommunication](https://busy.in/sac-code-998419/) - [998421: Internet Backbone](https://busy.in/sac-code-998421/) - [998422: Broadband Internet](https://busy.in/sac-code-998422/) - [998423: Online Fax](https://busy.in/sac-code-998423/) - [998424: Video Conferencing](https://busy.in/sac-code-998424/) - [998429: Internet Telecom](https://busy.in/sac-code-998429/) - [998431: Online Information](https://busy.in/sac-code-998431/) - [998432: Online Audio Streaming](https://busy.in/sac-code-998432/) - [998433: Online Video Streaming](https://busy.in/sac-code-998433/) - [998434: Software Download](https://busy.in/sac-code-998434/) - [998435: E Book Download](https://busy.in/sac-code-998435/) - [998439: Digital Content](https://busy.in/sac-code-998439/) - [998441: News Agency](https://busy.in/sac-code-998441/) - [998442: Independent Journalist](https://busy.in/sac-code-998442/) - [998443: Audiovisual News](https://busy.in/sac-code-998443/) - [998451: Library](https://busy.in/sac-code-998451/) - [998452: Digital Archive](https://busy.in/sac-code-998452/) - [998453: Historical Archive](https://busy.in/sac-code-998453/) - [998461: Radio Broadcasting](https://busy.in/sac-code-998461/) - [998462: Television Broadcast](https://busy.in/sac-code-998462/) - [998463: Radio Channel](https://busy.in/sac-code-998463/) - [998464: Television Programmes](https://busy.in/sac-code-998464/) - [998466: DTH](https://busy.in/sac-code-998466/) ### All SAC headings - [99: All Services Accounting](https://busy.in/sac-code-99/) - [9954: Services in building & construction](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/) - [9961: Services in wholesale trade](https://busy.in/sac-code-9961/) - [9962: Services in retail trade](https://busy.in/sac-code-9962/) - [9963: Accommodation, food & beverage services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9963/) - [9964: Passenger transport services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9964/) - [9965: Goods transport services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9965/) - [9966: Rental services of transport vehicles](https://busy.in/sac-code-9966/) - [9967: Supporting services in transport](https://busy.in/sac-code-9967/) - [9968: Postal & courier services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9968/) - [9969: Electricity, gas & water supply services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9969/) - [9971: Financial & related services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9971/) - [9972: Real estate services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9972/) - [9973: Leasing or rental services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9973/) - [9981: Research & development services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9981/) - [9982: Legal & accounting services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9982/) - [9983: Professional, technical & business services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9983/) - [9984: Telecommunications & broadcasting supply services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9984/) - [9985: Support services to business](https://busy.in/sac-code-9985/) - [9986: Support services to agriculture, hunting, forestry & more](https://busy.in/sac-code-9986/) - [9987: Maintenance, repair & installation services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9987/) - [9988: Manufacturing services on physical inputs](https://busy.in/sac-code-9988/) - [9989: Services in publishing, printing & bookbinding](https://busy.in/sac-code-9989/) - [9991: Public administration & other services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9991/) - [9992: Education services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9992/) - [9993: Human health & social care services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9993/) - [9994: Sewage & waste collection](https://busy.in/sac-code-9994/) - [9995: Services of membership organizations](https://busy.in/sac-code-9995/) - [9996: Recreational, cultural & sporting services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9996/) - [9997: Other Services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9997/)
