Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies GST implications for contractors. GST is charged on the total amount billed, not just the profit margin. Contractors should issue bills regularly, even if payment is received upon contract completion. The GST rate depends on whether it's a government or private contract, with 18% typically applying to private projects. Importantly, GST is also applicable on advance payments received.
