Under GST Regime, works contract will be treated as
service and tax would be charged accordingly (not as goods or part goods/part
services). This treatment of works contract as service and not as supply of
goods will bring in much needed clarification to the works contracts.
Composition Scheme is not Available.
Composition scheme is not available to works
contractors as it is treated as service under GST. Composition scheme is only
available to suppliers of goods. This will be a big blow to the small
sub-contractors who cannot opt for composition scheme. They will be forced to
register for normal taxation scheme increasing their compliance's and costs.

ITC credit on Works Contract?
ITC credit in case of works contract is one of the things which is still
not completely resolved under GST regime. As per section 17(5), the input tax
credit on works contract services when supplied for construction of an
immovable property (other than plant and machinery) is not available except
where it is an input service for further supply of works contract service. In
other words, the services availed by the works contractor from sub works
contractor is allowed as input tax credit. However, it is easier said than
done, because ITC rules on works contract is still not clear and department clarification
is much needed in this regard.
