Works contract tax as a withholding obligation by the recipient, with VAT on materials and labour cess liabilities.
Works contract taxation requires suppliers to apply service tax treatment for works contract services while VAT is charged on material portions; WCT functions as a tax deducted by the recipient from contractor payments with a certificate enabling credit against output VAT, and labour cess is the contractor's liability but falls on the owner if unpaid; interstate supply may render state WCT inapplicable.
