26 July 2013 Explain in detail what is work contract tax?
Please

26 July 2013 See a work contract is liable to VAT as well Service tax.
What is works contract?
It is a contract wherein property in the goods is mandatorily involved in the execution of the contract.If it is a pure labour contract it won't be considered as works contract.
Works contract are generally for construction,installations,repairs,renovation,maintenance,alteration of any movable /immovable property or any work attached to it.
Now the goods involved in these contracts will be liable to VAT (EX-value of material) and the service portion shall be liable to Service tax (Ex-Amount paid for labour supplies in work contract).
Basically there are 2 ways in which tax can be paid
1)composite scheme-generally used wherein serive portion is not easily ascertainable,so in law flat rates are prescribed based upon which tax can be paid.they are:-
a)orginal contract-value of service portion shall be 40% of gross amount charged & pay tax accordingly
B) if its repair and maintenance of movable property -then 70%
C) else( like- completion and finishing services,glazing,plastering etc) 60%

2)if service portion can be easily ascertained then apply service tax on it & VAT on goods
