WCT is applicable under any State VAT provisions when there is involved transfer of property. Thus in case of mobilization advances, there is no transfer of property involved and hence no WCT is applicable. WCT is applicable on the value of transfer of property for a particular RA bill or on gross bill value in case of composition subject to certain adjustments.

WCT is only applicable on transfer of property or goods to the contractee (as per the Tax Liability on Works Contract in VAT regime). In Mobilization Advance, there is no transfer of Property is involved and the Mobilization Advance is not a part payment or advance payment towards consideration of Works Contract to be executed. Whereas Mobilization Advance is to be recovered from Gross Value of R.A Bills along with the WCT being deducted on Gross Value of R.A Bills. Hence, WCT is not applicable on Mobilization Advance.
