Billing & GST
GST and input tax credit
How GST is charged on FiniteHost plans, CGST/SGST versus IGST, and how to claim input tax credit with your GSTIN.
On this page
FiniteHost plans are taxed at 18% GST under SAC 998315 (hosting and IT infrastructure provisioning services). If your business is registered for GST and you add your GSTIN before paying, the invoice is a B2B tax invoice: it is reported in our GSTR-1 and appears in your GSTR-2B, so you can claim the GST back as input tax credit (ITC).
Before you start#
- Your GSTIN, exactly as on your GST certificate.
- Add it in Profile & GST before you pay. See Billing details and GSTIN.
How the tax is split#
FiniteHost is registered in Tamil Nadu (state code 33). The split depends on your place of supply:
| Your place of supply | Tax on your invoice |
|---|---|
| Tamil Nadu (33) | CGST 9% + SGST 9% |
| Any other state or union territory | IGST 18% |
Your place of supply is the state in your GSTIN. Without a GSTIN, it is the state you chose in Profile & GST.
Worked example: Pro plan, monthly#
| Line | Tamil Nadu buyer | Karnataka buyer |
|---|---|---|
| FiniteHost Pro plan, monthly (30 days) | ₹299.00 | ₹299.00 |
| CGST 9% | ₹26.91 | |
| SGST 9% | ₹26.91 | |
| IGST 18% | ₹53.82 | |
| Round off | ₹0.18 | ₹0.18 |
| Total paid | ₹353.00 | ₹353.00 |
The checkout charges whole rupees, so the small difference goes on the invoice as Round off.
Claim input tax credit, step by step#
- Add your GSTIN before paying. Open Profile & GST, enter the GSTIN and press Save billing details. The Account card then says Invoices: B2B (with GSTIN).
- Pay as usual. Your invoice carries your GSTIN, legal name and the correct place of supply.
- Download the invoice. Open it from Invoices and save it as PDF for your records. See Invoices and credit notes.
- Check your GSTR-2B. The invoice appears in your GSTR-2B after we file our GSTR-1 for that month. Your accountant claims the ITC from there.
Change your GSTIN or address#
Invoices are fixed once issued: GST rules do not allow editing them. What you can do:
- Update your profile for the future. Change the details in Profile & GST and save. Every invoice from then on uses the new details.
- Ask about past invoices. If an issued invoice has a wrong GSTIN or name, write to billing@finitehost.com from your account's email address with the invoice number and the correct details. Corrections are made with a credit note and, where allowed, a fresh invoice.
Troubleshooting#
- The invoice shows IGST but you are in Tamil Nadu. Your GSTIN or chosen state is from another state. Check Profile & GST.
- The invoice is not in your GSTR-2B yet. GSTR-2B for a month is generated after the month's returns are filed. Wait for the next cycle; if it is still missing, write to billing@finitehost.com.
- "GSTIN check digit does not match". One character is mistyped. See Billing details and GSTIN.
