03 August 2025 WCT (Works Contract Tax) rates do vary from state to state in India, and the way it’s applied can differ too.
General points on WCT rates:
Typically around 4% to 5% on the gross contract value (which includes both material and labor).
Some states levy different rates for labor and materials separately.
Some states provide deduction/exemption on value of materials and charge WCT only on the labor portion.
In other states, WCT is charged on the entire contract value (materials + labor).
Examples:
Maharashtra: WCT is charged on the gross amount, but there are specific provisions on deducting material cost.
Karnataka: Typically 4% to 5% on gross contract value.
West Bengal: Rates may vary, and the tax base could be labor portion after deducting materials.
Summary:
Yes, WCT rates vary by state and sometimes by the composition of the contract (material vs labor).
To know the exact applicable rate and computation, check the WCT Act/rules of the specific state where the contract is executed.
