Tag: Model GST Law

The Model GST Law specifically treats a ´works contract´ (including any transfer of property in goods in the execution of such contract) as a ´service´. However, determining the nature of a particular agreement, or a set of agreements, for a project (i.e., whether it qualifies as a works contract or not) would still be critical from the perspective of the place of supply, the taxable value, the applicable rate of tax and the compliances to be undertaken given the peculiar and varied nature of arrangements in the infrastructure sector, involving multiple scopes of work and multiple participants (consortium) for either a full project or for parts of a single project.
