Hey! Great question — let's clear up the confusion around **work contract** and **reverse charge** under GST.

### What is a Work Contract under GST?
* **Work Contract** means a contract for building, construction, fabrication, completion, erection, installation, fitting out, repair, maintenance, renovation, alteration or commissioning of any immovable property.
* It **involves both goods and services** where transfer of property in goods is involved in the execution of the contract.
**Key point:** It’s mostly related to **construction or any immovable property work** (building, civil work, repair, etc.)
---
### Does marketing services like banners/posters fall under Work Contract?
* No, providing **marketing materials like banners, posters, and marketing services** **does NOT fall under the definition of work contract**.
* These are generally treated as **supply of goods (banners/posters)** and **services (marketing services)** separately.
* So, **reverse charge on work contract services will not apply** for marketing services or supply of banners/posters.
---
### Reverse Charge Applicability
* Reverse charge on work contract services **only applies if the recipient is a specified person like a government department or local authority**, or if notified under GST rules.
* For general business-to-business contracts for work contract services, reverse charge usually **does NOT apply**, except in notified cases.
