29 November 2011 Thanks Sir,

I could not undersatand the meaning of Declare Goods on which Vat is applicable at 4% and Other Goods on which Vat is applicable at 12.5%.

I have read that service tax is 4.25% if the value of services could not be segregated.


29 November 2011 Mr. PK Mishra,
There are some goods mentioned in Sec 14 of CST Act 1956 such as :Cereals,pulses, cotton,cottonyarn,cotton,manmade and woollen fabrics,oil seeds,iron and steel,jute,sugar,LPG,crude petroleum,hides and skins.These goods are chargeable @4% and the remaining goods used in works contract are chargeable @12.5%.
The total contract value can be segregated into labour and matrial easily.Suppose your total contract value is Rs10 lakhs. You buy 5.5laks worth of material such as cemnt,sand jelly,bricks,wood etc,labour expenses is
Rs2.5lakhs,services like transport,electricity,water etc for Rs1 lakh and GP Rs1.0lakhs.Now distribute the gross profit to thease items of expenses on % baasis like Rs55,000/-for material,25,000 for labour,Rs10,000 for others.Your total value of srvices and labour comes to(Rs2.5laks+Rs1.0laks+Rs25,000+Rs10,000)=Rs3.85lakhs.on this it 10.25%.It is slightly less than 4.25%on the whole amount of contract.In the same waay the total value of material supply becomes Rs6.05lakhs.Out of this on the value of steel supply it 4% and on the rest12.5%
