Understand the Water Purification System HSN Code Under GST

For businesses dealing with water purification systems, understanding the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is crucial for navigating India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. This classification determines the applicable GST rate for these essential devices that ensure access to clean water.

Based on the provided data, there isn’t a direct HSN code explicitly for “water purification systems.” However, the data includes related entries that can help us understand the likely classification. Notably, HSN Chapter 84 covers “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof,” which includes filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids.

Note Other Indirectly Related HSN Codes

The provided data includes other entries that are indirectly related to water or purification but are not water purification systems themselves:

  • Articles of iron or steel for sewage/water systems: 73259993 and 73269030, both with an 18% GST rate. These relate to infrastructure rather than the purification units.
  • Water well drilling and septic system installation services: 995434 with varying GST rates depending on the context, but this is a service, not a product.
  • Water distribution services: 996921 with an 18% GST rate, again a service.
  • Water rides and water park amusements: under Chapter 95 with an 18% GST rate, clearly not purification systems.
  • Steam or water gas generators and related parts: under Chapter 84 with an 18% GST rate, used for industrial gas production.
  • Power-driven pumps for water: 8413 (rate omitted in the data).
  • Machinery for filtering or purifying beverages other than water: 84212200 with an 18% GST rate, highlighting a distinction from water purification.
  • Salt (including in aqueous solution) and sea water: 250100 with a Nil GST rate, as it’s a natural product.
  • Ceramic products with high water absorption: 69072300 with an 18% GST rate, related to construction materials.
  • Vegetables preserved in brine or sulphur water: under Chapter 07 with a 5% GST rate, related to food preservation.
  • Electrical machines with individual functions (including video mixing systems): 85438941 with an 18% GST rate, unrelated to water purification.
  • Electric water heaters: 85167910 with an 18% GST rate, for heating, not purification.
  • Distilled or conductivity water: 28530010 with a 5% GST rate, a purified product but not a purification system.
  • Coal gas, water gas, producer gas: 2705 with a 5% GST rate, industrial gases.

The Importance of Accurate Classification

Using the correct HSN code for water purification systems is essential because:

  • It determines the applicable GST rate. Incorrect classification can lead to wrong tax payments.
  • It ensures compliance with GST regulations. Accurate HSN codes are required for invoices and GST returns.
  • It facilitates proper customs and trade documentation.

FAQs

What is the most probable HSN code for water purification systems?

The most probable HSN code is 8421, covering filtering or purifying machinery for liquids.

What is the typical GST rate for machinery under HSN code 8421?

The typical GST rate is 18%.

Where can I find the most accurate HSN code for a specific type of water purification system (e.g., RO, UV)?

Refer to the official GST tariff and consult with a tax advisor, providing the specific technology and intended use of the system for accurate classification under the relevant sub-heading of HSN 8421.

Why is there no direct entry for “water purification systems” in this data?

The HSN system has a hierarchical structure, and “water purification systems” might be a more specific term falling under a broader category like “filtering or purifying machinery for liquids.”

Is the GST rate different for household vs. industrial water purification systems?

Generally, the GST rate is the same based on the broad HSN classification, but specific types might have sub-classifications.
