The Supreme Court of India, in its various landmark judgments has explained the difference between a normal sale and an indivisible / composite works contract;

“In a contract of sale, the main object is the transfer of Property and delivery of the possession of Chattel as a Chattel to the buyer, where it is not so, it is a contract of Works & Labour” (Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. 55-STC 314-SC).

Further, if WCT is applicable on contract, No separate service tax or VAT need to be computed on the same.

However, if the contractor chooses to maintain proper books of accounts & opt to pay VAT on the material value & service tax on the labour & other service portion, WCT would not be applicable, even in the case of indivisible contracts.
