Any body could clarify the following on CST?

1. Works contracts are executed from Hyderabad (ie from AP) to Culcutta (ie Westbengal). The contractee at West Bengal is liable to deduct any TAX as TDS under CST ?

2. What is the rate of standard deduction available to Contractor while reporting the CST sales?

3. In case contractee is already deducted the tax at West Bengal as contract TDS for works contract and issued the certificate to the Contractor, Whether the contractor can claim the credit for the same in AP or not?

Thanks in advance

sir,I am not able to understand on which amount WCT will be charge. i.e. on gross bill including labour and service tax or any thing else.

Please advice.

In case of Works Contract under CST, as per the act, there is no need to deduct TDS on WCT. In my opinion it is not possible to adjust the TDS deducted in WB in AP return. While filing the return in AP, the assessee is required to pay the VAT on Works contract executed in West Bengal

hi,

In the present case, The AP state government willcharge CST on the Material Value whcih is transfer from AP to West Bengal,

Contractee is not liable to deduct TDS works Contract as Contractee has paid central sales tax on the value of Material to Contractor,

rate of Deduction and certificate issued/not is not relevent,

Thanx,

Hi Butchi Babu,

Have your query cleared. please post your views. so that every one will get clear on you question.

As the sales tax on contractors shall be deducted by contractee only not by contractor, then how shall the Ap contracter will pay cst. Tds is centralised they can deduct the Tds.

Regards,

Prakash
