11 January 2009 These are different but interlinked services. Construction of commercial or industrial complex is a service by itself. But works contract is a service which basically revolves under a works contract. Those who are engaged in Construction of commerical or industrial complex, construction of complex and erection commissioning and installation service (CCS, CON and CAI) can OPT for payment of service tax under this service.

12 January 2009 No question of opting WC category. Being a works contractor, your client must be paying the relevant State VAT (output VAT/WCT). Then automatically by virtue of Sec.65(105(zzzza) of FA 1994, your client falls under WC services category. Notification Nos.29/2007-ST or 32/2007-ST are to be followed.
