28 October 2012 1) If construction of flats / villas is undertaken as 'works contract', vat attracts either under normal tax rate (12% in Kerala) ,subject to deduction for labour and other service element involved therein OR at compounded rate (3%) in Kerala) on the gross receipts.

2) After the 46th amendment to the Constitution of India transfer of property of goods used in the execution of works contract attracts value added tax being deemed sale thereof. Hence levy is mandatory.
