17 December 2009 The following two types of VAT levies are provided for the transactions of works contracts between the Main contractor and the Sub-Contractor,
In certain States, (like Maharashtra) Main and Sub Contractors are treated as single legal Entity. Therefore, there is no VAT/TDS applicable between the transactions of the Main and the Sub-Contractor . The VAT Forms are exchanged between the Main and the Sub Contractors to declare that they have discharged VAT liability for their portions of the Contracts. In such cases, the Main Contractor gets the deduction of the value of the work executed by the Sub Contractor. The main and the Sub Contractor are jointly and severally responsible for the compliance under the works contract provisions of the VAT Act .
In certain states ( other than Maharashtra), the Main and the Sub Contractors are treated as separate legal Entities, like separate two dealers under the VAT Act. Therefore, in such provisions , Sub contractor charges applicable VAT/Composition Tax to the Main Contractor, avails Credit of the VAT paid on the inputs and the Main contracts also charges VAT/Composition Tax applicable to the Contractee/Customer and avails the Credit available to him against the VAT paid to the Sub-Contractor. They are assessed / audited separately under the State VAT Act provisions.
It is advisable that the Main Contractor and the Sub Contractor should discuss all the relevant VAT provisions before opting for the specific method of levy of VAT / Composition Tax to avoid complications at a later date.
