For the purpose of STDS, where transfer of property in goods (whether in goods or in some other form) is involved in execution of a works contract, deduction of Sales Tax, with effect from 01.08.2006, shall be as below : (i) two per centum, when such contractor is registered under the VAT Act and such registration is valid on the date of making such payment; or (ii) four per centum, in all other cases.

Please check Section 40 the WBVAT Act read with Rules made thereunder in this regard.

AI Summary

Works contract tax deduction rates differ for registered and unregistered contractors under sales tax, affecting withholding obligations.
For STDS on works contracts involving transfer of property in goods, deduction at source depends on the contractor's VAT registration status: a reduced rate applies when the contractor is validly registered under the VAT Act on the date of payment, and a higher rate applies otherwise. The payer's withholding obligation is therefore determined by registration validity at payment; consult Section 40 of the VAT Act and associated rules for detailed application.
