1. He has to pay service Tax and hence get registered himself under the Service Tax Act.
2. He is also covered under the Composition Scheme.
3. Registration under vat does not in no way affect his service tax liability.

A civil works contractor is liable to pay the service tax and can be registered under the Construction of residential complex or Works contract service. If he is registered under the works contract service, then only he is eligible for composition scheme. If he is registered under the VAT then he can deduct VAT paid from the total consideration when he is opting under composition scheme
