When freelancers must register — thresholds
Only after crossing thresholds: ₹20 lakh services turnover (₹10 lakh in special-category states) — and inter-state supply to registered businesses triggers it regardless.
The working rules:
- Below threshold — no GST invoice; raise plain invoices
- Registered — charge 18% on services under the right SAC code (web development class: 9983xx)
- Invoice fields — your GSTIN, client GSTIN, SAC, HSN where applicable, taxable value, tax split
- Exports — LUT filing lets you zero-rate foreign clients
- Input credit — GST you pay on hosting and software offsets output tax
Hosting invoices from WebJi® arrive GST-itemized, ready for input credit. The GST on web hosting guide details the paperwork, and GSTR-1/3B basics sit in the sections above.

Invoice format — required fields with a filled example
How this plays out with SAC 9983 (IT services): settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.
Foreign clients — exports, LUT and zero-rating
On input tax credit, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Input credit on hosting and software you buy
Two practical notes on reverse charge (Section 9(3)): it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
GSTR-1 and 3B filing basics
Add your GSTIN in the client area before you pay if you need input credit. Every WebJi® invoice is in INR and shows GST at 18%. Prices on the plan tables are exclusive of that GST.
