Works contract is a kind of quasi sale and service.
There is some part of material involved and major labour charges.
Some examples shall be fabrication, job working for big cos like L&T , Triveni Engg. etc.

What is the rate of Service tax on work contracts. Is it 4 % on gross turnover or 10% on 33% of gross turn over if it is not possible to account for exact material and labour component.
Rate of service tax for WCS is either 4.12% on gross amount charged for service provided or 10.3% on value determined under rule 2A of service tax determination of value rules, 2006. The rate of 10.3% on 33% value is not under WCS but for construction of complex if value of land is not included in the gross amt chgd.

Erection, Commisison or Installation services mainly covers the E/C/I of any machinery , plant or appliances. It is important to note that if the service involves the supply of material , it shall be calssifiable under WCS. If it is a contract involving pure labour, it shall be classifiable under 'EC/I' Please refer Section 65(39a) of Finance Act for type of services covered.
