Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for work contractors. It explains that most work contracts are taxed at either 12% or 18% GST. Specifically, contracts for private parties are typically taxed at 18%, while those for government purposes are taxed at 12%. The definition of a work contract under GST involves services related to immovable property. Importantly, contractors can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on these services.

So in GST , the work contract is treated as work contract only when it is provided in relation to immovable property
