Hsn Codes & Gst Rates for Motors, Generators & Transformers
Hsn Codes & Gst Rates for Motors, Generators & Transformers
GST rates for all goods and services are determined by the GST Council in India. The GST rate for goods is applicable mainly in five slabs namely 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. GST rates for goods are linked to HSN code, an internationally used system for classification of goods in the course of international trade. GST rates for services are linked to SAC code, a system for classification of services devised by the Indian Service Tax department. In this article, we look at the HSN code and GST rate for motors, generators and transformers which fall under Chapter 85.
GST Rate for DC Motors
Electric motors both DC and AC motors are taxable under GST at the rate of 18%. However, based on the type of motor and output of current, the HSN code for the item would change. The HSN code for motors are provided below:
DC Motors of an output not exceeding 37.5 W
- HSN code for micro DC motor is 8501 10 11.
- HSN code for stepper DC motor is 8501 10 12.
- HSN code for wiper DC motor is 8501 10 13.
- All other types of DC motor with an output not exceeding 37.5W is 8501 10 20.
DC Motors of an output not exceeding 750 W
DC motors with an output higher than 37.5 W and not exceeding 750 W are classified under HSN Code 8501 31 as under:
- HSN code for micro DC motor is 8501 31 11.
- HSN code for stepper DC motor is 8501 31 12.
- HSN code for wiper DC motor is 8501 31 13.
- All other types of DC motor with an output not exceeding 37.5W is 8501 31 20.
