The HSN code for laptops, desktops and personal computers falls under Heading 8471<\/strong> in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact HSN code depends on the type and configuration of the computer. A portable personal computer such as a laptop commonly falls under 84713010<\/strong>, while desktop computers can fall under classifications such as 84714110, 84714900 or 84715000<\/strong>, depending on how the system is supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computers under HSN 8471 generally attract 18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the HSN Code for Laptops, Desktops and Personal Computers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The broad HSN heading is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8471 \u2014 Automatic data processing machines and units thereof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common classifications include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 84713010<\/strong> \u2013 Personal computer under the portable automatic data-processing machine category<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 84713090<\/strong> \u2013 Other portable automatic data-processing machines<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 84714110<\/strong> \u2013 Micro computer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 84714900<\/strong> \u2013 Other digital automatic data-processing machines presented in the form of systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 84715000<\/strong> \u2013 Other processing units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The correct HSN should be selected according to whether the product is a portable laptop, complete desktop system or separate processing unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The term \u201cpersonal computer\u201d should not automatically be treated as one universal HSN for every desktop and laptop<\/strong>. The product’s portability and configuration matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    GST Rate on Laptops, Desktops and Personal Computers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Computers falling under HSN 8471 generally attract 18% GST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For an applicable intra-state supply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 9% CGST<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 9% SGST<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For an applicable inter-state supply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 18% IGST<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If a laptop has a taxable value of \u20b950,000<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Taxable value: \u20b950,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • GST @ 18%: \u20b99,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Total invoice value: \u20b959,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          For an applicable intra-state transaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • CGST @ 9% = \u20b94,500<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • SGST @ 9% = \u20b94,500<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            What Is Included Under HSN 8471?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            HSN 8471 broadly covers automatic data-processing machines and their units, including qualifying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Laptop computers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Portable personal computers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Micro computers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Desktop computer systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Processing units<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Certain input\/output units<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Storage units<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Other automatic data-processing equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Separate computer accessories or peripherals can fall under different subheadings depending on the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              How to Choose the Correct HSN Code for a Computer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              1. Check Whether the Computer Is Portable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              If the computer is portable, weighs not more than the relevant tariff limit, and includes a CPU, keyboard and display, it falls under 847130<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              For a qualifying personal computer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              84713010<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              2. Check Whether It Is a Desktop Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Desktop computers can have different classifications depending on how they are supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              A complete system may fall under 84714900<\/strong>, while a computer with CPU and input\/output components in the same housing may fall under 84714110<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              3. Check Whether Only the CPU \/ Processing Unit Is Supplied<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              A separate processing unit can fall under:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              84715000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              4. Do Not Use the Laptop HSN for Every Desktop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Although laptops and desktops share Heading 8471<\/strong>, they do not necessarily share the same 8-digit tariff item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              5. Classify Peripherals Separately Where Required<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Items such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Monitors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Keyboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Printers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Storage devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Computer parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                may require their own specific HSN classification rather than automatically using the same code as the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                How to Add the Computer HSN Code to an Invoice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                When invoicing a laptop or desktop computer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Enter the exact product description, such as Laptop Computer<\/strong> or Desktop CPU<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Add the applicable HSN code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Enter the quantity and taxable value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Apply the applicable GST rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Apply CGST and SGST for an applicable intra-state supply or IGST for an applicable inter-state supply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                6. Include the other mandatory GST invoice details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
