The rate and the code
Website design, development and related software services fall under SAC 9983 at 18% GST. If a provider is GST-registered, that 18% exists on every invoice whether they mention it or not — the only question is whether their quoted price already contains it.
Inclusive vs exclusive pricing
A ₹10,000 quote "plus GST" bills you ₹11,800. A ₹10,000 GST-inclusive price bills you ₹10,000 — the invoice simply splits ₹8,475 service + ₹1,525 tax. Same tax, very different surprise. WebPricing shows the inclusive number on every card, and the split is computed on the discounted price you actually pay — never on the struck-through MRP.
Discounts come before tax
GST is charged on what you pay, not on the list price. When a 35% discount applies, the 18% is calculated on the discounted amount — so the tax portion in your invoice is smaller too. The level pages show this split explicitly.
If you have a GSTIN
GST-registered businesses can generally claim input tax credit on the GST portion of a website build — check with your CA for your situation. Your WebPricing invoice carries the split so that credit is claimable cleanly.
Common questions
What is the GST rate on website development?
18%, under SAC 9983 for design and development services.
Do WebPricing prices include GST?
Yes — every price shown is GST-inclusive. The invoice splits out the 18% tax component from the amount you paid.
Is GST calculated before or after the discount?
After — GST applies to the amount you actually pay. A discounted price means a proportionally smaller tax component too.
Can I claim input tax credit on a website build?
If your business is GST-registered, the GST portion is generally claimable as input credit — confirm with your CA. The invoice shows the split clearly.
