As we all know, GST is going to be implemented w.e.f 01-07-2017, We have already explained “calculation of Service tax on Works Contract<\/a>“. But w.e.f 01-07-2017, Service Tax along with other indirect taxes like Excise duty, CST, Sales Tax, CVD, SAD, Extry tax etc. are going to be\u00a0 replaced by GST. We have received many queries regarding Calculation of GST on Works Contract Service.<\/p>\n

W.e.f 01-07-2012, All services become taxable except services in negative list and exemption list. Now w.e.f 1-07-2017 i.e. Exactly Five year after works contract service was added in Partial reverse charge category Service tax is merged in GST.<\/p>\n

Here in this blog, a short summary for calculation of GST on works contract is given.<\/p>\n

What is Works Contract<\/h3>\n

Definition of Works Contract in Service Tax<\/span><\/h4>\n

As per sec.65(54)(zzzza) of Finance Act 1994,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work Contract\u201d means a contract wherein transfer of property in goods involved in the execution of such contract is leviable to tax as sale of goods and such contract is for purpose of carrying out construction, erection, commissioning, installation, completion, fitting out, repair, maintenance, renovation, alteration of any movable or immovable property or for carrying out any other similar activity or a part thereof in relation to such property.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This definition is changed in GST law,<\/p>\n

Definition of Works Contract in GST<\/span><\/h4>\n

As per section 2(119) of CGST Act, \u201cworks contract\u201d means a contract for building, construction, fabrication,completion, erection, installation, fitting out, improvement, modification, repair,maintenance, renovation, alteration or commissioning of any immovable property wherein transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in some other form) is involved in the execution of such contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the new definition, Works contract in only for Immovable property, So modification, repair,maintenance, renovation, alteration etc. of movable property is out of scope of Works contract.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Points to be noted for GST on Works Contract<\/h3>\n

“Service portion in the Execution of a Works Contract” being a part of declared services is a taxable service. And goods part in execution of work contract is liable for Sales tax. Hence upto 30-06-2017, abatement was provided in works contract for the goods involved in execution of works contract. After abatement (30%\/ 40%\/ 60%) balance value of works contract was liable for service tax under partial reverse charge. But under GST regime both goods and services involved in execution of works contract are taxable under same law i.e. GST law.<\/p>\n

Under GST regime following point are notable for calculation of GST on works contract (as per decision taken by GST council till date 20-06-2017):-<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Reverse charge is not applicable to Works Contract if Service provider is Registered under GST. But as per Sec. 9(4) of CGST Act, Reverse charge will be applicable in such case where Supply of taxable goods or services or both is done by a unregistered dealer\u00a0 to a registered dealer. So if a works contract is executed by a person registered in GST law then Reverse charge is not applicable.<\/li>\n
  2. No further abatement in Works Contacts for calculation of Tax. The reason behind this is that earlier goods involved in execution of works contract was not taxable under service tax. Hence service tax was charged on abated value. But GST is applicable on both goods and services, hence not abatement is available.<\/li>\n
  3. No further WCT deduction against Works contact. The reason is that earlier WCT was deducted for goods involved in executed of Works contract.\u00a0 Because sales tax was applicable to this part. But now GST is applicable for both part Service and Supply.<\/li>\n
  4. Value of Free issue material is not required to be included in value of invoice to arrive at taxable value. The reason is that earlier FOC material value was added to Works contract value and after that an abatement was deducted in respect of this. Now no abatement is available hence no need to add value of Free of cost material in Works contract.<\/li>\n
  5. As per GST law, the word “Supply” includes “Supply of goods” as well as “Supply of Services”. Earlier we used the word supply only in relation of goods. But now providing services is also called as Supply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Valuation of Works contract for GST<\/strong><\/h3>\n
