• For a layman, Works Contract is a composite contract involving the sale of goods as well as the sale of services. For example, construction contract, maintenance contract etc. • Thus, Works Contract is a mixture of sale of goods involving transfer of property as well as provision of service.

• Contracts can be Divisible as well as Indivisible contracts. • When the contract can be readily divided and the value of materials can be separately identified, then it is a divisible contract. • However, when the value of materials cannot be readily divided, it is an indivisible contract.

• To determine the Sales Price under Works Contract, there are three broad methods namely: 1. Normal Method 2. Table Method (Lump sum / Standard Deduction Method) 3. Composition Method SAJJAN KANODIA & CO.

8

 Works Contract under Normal Method are generally Divisible contracts.  The dealer is required to maintain specific books of accounts for individual category of expenses with detailed information.  The value of goods can be readily separated in this category of contracts by deducting value of all service portion.  The value of service portion consists of labour and service charges, payment to sub-contractor, planning, designing & architect’s fees, machinery and tools hire charges, expenses towards utility, consumption such as water, electricity, fuel etc. and profit attributable to the service portion of the contract. SAJJAN KANODIA & CO.

 Works Contract under Table Method are generally Indivisible contracts.  Table Method is also known as Standard Deduction method or Lumpsum Method.  Where the dealer is not able to maintain separate set of books of accounts for the service and goods portion involved in the works contract, then he may resort to Table Method.  Table Method is generally adopted by smaller contractors who are not able to maintain specific books of accounts.  The dealer is not required to maintain specific books of accounts for individual category of expenses under this method.  The dealer is allowed certain percentage of deduction under this method towards value of service portion. The deduction percentage is defined according to nature of works contract. SAJJAN KANODIA & CO.

Suppose the Annual Maintenance Contract value entered by M/S ABC Pvt Ltd is Rs. 2 crores and the dealer has opted for Table Method (Standard Deduction Method), then the value of contract on which the liability under MVAT Act arises shall be computed as under : Solution: Contract Value : Rs. 2,00,00,000 Less: Standard Deduction @ 40% : (Rs. 80,00,000) Contract Value liable for tax under MVAT : Rs. 1,20,00,000

SAJJAN KANODIA & CO.

a. According to Rule 58(1A) , in case where there is a construction contract, where along with the immovable property, the land or as the case maybe interest in land underlying the property is conveyed and the property in the goods (whether as goods or in any other form) involved in the execution of construction contract is also transferred to the purchaser, such transfer is liable to tax under this rule. The value of said goods at the time of the transfer shall be calculated after deduction of cost of land. b. Rule 58(1A) also provides the manner of calculation of land cost. It says, the cost of land shall be determined in accordance with the guidelines appended to the annual statement of rates prepared under the provisions of the Bombay Stamp Act (Determination of true market value of the property) Rules 1995 as applicable on the 1st January of the year in which the agreement to sell the property is registered. SAJJAN KANODIA & CO.

16

Thus, the cost of land shall be the value of land for stamp duty purposes as applicable on the 1 January of the year of registration of agreement to sale. c. However, if the contractor feels that the actual cost of land is more than the value determined for stamp duty purposes, he can provide such facts before the Department of Town Planning and Valuation only after the payment of tax. On such actual cost being proved to be higher, then the actual cost of land be deducted and excess tax paid, if any, shall be refunded.

a. As per the provisions of Rule 58(1B), where the dealer undertakes the construction of flats, dwellings, buildings or premises, and transfers them in pursuance of an agreement along with the land or interest underlying the land then, after deductions under sub rules (1) and (1A) from the total contract price, the value of the goods involved in the execution of works contract shall be determined after applying the percentage provided in column (3) of the following table depending upon the state at which the purchaser entered into the contract:

For determining the value of goods as per the above table, it shall be necessary for the dealer to furnish a certificate from the Local or Planning Authority certifying the date of completion of the stages referred above and where such authority does not have a procedure for providing such certificate then such certificate from a registered RCC consultant.

Working for Rule 58(1B) for contractor following Rule 58(1) Table Method : Agreement Value : 1000 Less : Land Cost : 400 Balance : 600 Less : 30% Deduction as per Table : 180 Balance Value : 420 Assuming the developer has entered in a contract with the purchaser at the stage of “completion of plinth level to the completion of 100% of RCC framework” and accordingly, the Taxable Value of goods is 85% of 420 = Rs. 357/-.
