with 3 other Individual investors and an Estate owner to build and
operate a Estate Resort in Madikeri of Karnataka.

payment of 10% of the total capital brought in by the others Partners.

Tax laws of the state where the work is being executed will be applicable for which the contractor has to take local registration.

On consultancy bill , no Works contract tax is applicable.

It is essential that the contractor has to take local registration and comply with local VAT rules to safeguard its revenue. Otherwise, this will look like execution of Inter state works contract, where for the materials part CST has to be charged and for labour part Service tax. More details are required to give a conclusive reply

an indiividual has obtained ST2 for interior decorators only, can he opt composition scheme for works contract?  Does he wants to ammends ST1 to include WCT Services?

Please reply.
