29 March 2010 Dear friends,

How should a civil contractor registered under works contract head both in Service Tax and Gujarat Value Added Tax Act should raise invoice for the works contract?

At what rate he should charge V.A.T. & Service Tax on works contract bill?

Whether Service Tax & V.A.T. both will be applicable?

Awaiting expert opinions.

Thanks & Regards,

S. M. Desai
