How to show it on your invoice
Write the HSN code against each item line: at least 4 digits (3402) if your turnover in the previous year was up to ₹5 crore, 6 digits above that. Charge CGST and SGST when the buyer is in your state and IGST when the place of supply is another state. A GST invoice also needs your GSTIN, the buyer's GSTIN for B2B sales, the invoice number and date, the taxable value and the tax for each rate.
