Service portion in works contract: valuation rules require gross contract value less goods value, with statutory presumptions for repairs.
Rule 2A prescribes that the service portion in a works contract equals the gross amount charged less the value of property in goods transferred; where VAT or sales tax has been paid on goods, that value is to be adopted. The rule enumerates inclusions for works contract service value-labour, sub-contractor payments, design fees, machinery hire, consumables, establishment costs, similar expenses and profit relatable to labour and services-and provides statutory presumptions to compute the service portion where direct determination is not possible.
