03 August 2025 WCT (Works Contract Tax) return filing frequency depends on the **state VAT rules**, as WCT was a state-level tax before GST.

Generally:

* In **most states**, **WCT returns are filed monthly or quarterly**, not annually.
* The **due date** and **frequency** can vary by state—some states may allow quarterly filing.
* Annual returns may be required in addition to monthly/quarterly returns in some states, but monthly/quarterly is the norm for regular compliance.

---

### Typical scenario (pre-GST):

* **Monthly filing:** WCT return filed every month, usually by 21st of next month.
* **Quarterly filing:** Some states allow quarterly WCT returns.
* **Annual filing:** Sometimes an annual summary return is required but **monthly/quarterly returns remain mandatory**.

---

### What you should do:

* Check your **state VAT/WCT department website** or consult your VAT rules for the exact return frequency.
* In absence of specific notification, assume **monthly filing**.
* Confirm with your state VAT officer or your accountant for compliance specific to your state.

If you tell me your **state**, I can help provide the exact due dates and frequency for WCT return filing.
