Practical WCT (Work Contract Tax)

As per Service tax Valuation Rules,

There are 2 types of Works Contract

  • Original Works Contract (For New Construction Work)
  • Other than Original Works Contract (For Repair and Maintenance Work)

 

Original Contract

  • It is assumed that a Original Work Contract is 40% Services and 60% Goods
  • There is 40% Service Component in case of Original Contract,hence Service tax is applicable only on these 40%
  • Example: -
  • Suppose Work Contract is of 100000
  • Service Component=40% of 100000=40000
  • Service tax  @ 15% =40000*15%=6000

 

Works Contract

  • It is assumed that a Original Work Contract is 70% Services and 30% Goods
  • There is 70% Service Component in case of Original Contract,hence Service tax is applicable only on this 70%
  • Suppose Work Contract is of 100000
  • Service Component=70% of 100000=70000
  • Service tax  @ 15% =70000*15%=10500
