29 August 2013 Dear Sir,
For COT scheme especially for Works contract computation of VAT should be as per below mentioned method.

gross amount received: *****
Less: Deductions
a) Land cost ****
b) payment to registered sub contractor *****
(c)Interstate purchases ****

Arrive the amount taxable under works contract @4% ****

Next process is to add the tax on On interstate purchases at local rate

Ratio is not the criteria for determining the taxable amount.
