12 October 2016 Labour cess in a Central Act and it is applicable. Office of Labour cess is there in Chennai - Nungambakkam. It is applicable to civil construction. Estd contract cost for AS 7 (if that is what you are looking for) shall include 1% tax deducted by employer. Further, Employer is liable to deduct 1% under this Act. Further there is a provision for asking for exemption under the CESS Act - which you may refer. The provisions are simple.
