What a cosmetics & beauty store bill must show

Every tax invoice needs the Rule 46 fields in the table further down. On top of those, a cosmetics bill needs:

What to print	Why / source
The correct rate per product	Hair oil, shampoo, talcum and face powder, toothpaste, toilet soap to 5% (PIB, 56th GST Council); other cosmetics at their own rate
HSN 3303 to 3307 by product	Rule 46(g)
Shade or size	Not a GST field; one lipstick in five shades is five items
Batch and expiry	Not a GST field; it is what a complaint or return is checked against

The shop columns in this format

Shade / size: Shade code or pack size: Ruby 04, 340 ml.
Batch: From the pack; useful for complaints.
Expiry: MM/YY. Do not sell expired stock.

GST rates on the sample items

Talcum and face powder, hair oil and shampoo, toothpaste and toilet soap moved from 18% to 5% (PIB, 56th GST Council; GST Council FAQs 44-46 say the cut is only for these daily-use items). The sample lipstick and perfume lines stay at 18%.

Common mistakes on cosmetics bills

Charging 18% on shampoo or face powder after 22 September 2025.
Putting all cosmetics at 5% because a few items moved; most make-up did not.
Selling near-expiry stock without checking, then facing returns.

FAQ

Cosmetics bill format: questions

What should a cosmetics bill show?

Your shop details and GSTIN, bill number and date, and for each product the description, shade or size, batch, expiry, HSN, quantity, rate, discount, taxable value and GST rate, then the tax split, total and signature.

What is the GST on cosmetics in 2026?

5% for talcum and face powder, hair oil, shampoo, toothpaste and toilet soap from 22 September 2025; other cosmetics such as lipstick and perfume remain at 18% in the samples. Check each HSN.

Do I need batch and expiry on a cosmetics bill?

GST does not ask for it. It helps with complaints and returns, and it stops staff from billing expired stock if your software checks it.

Can I give loyalty points on the bill?

Yes, as a discount on a later bill. GST is then charged on the value after that discount.

Is this format fine for a beauty parlour?

No. Parlour services are services with SAC and their own rate. This format is for selling products.
