https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=799237 Works-contract services for installing a new main water pipeline and revamping a distribution network involve goods incorporated into immovable property and are treated as supplies of services. New pipeline installation falls under SAC 995422 as civil engineering waterworks, while network revamping falls under SAC 995429 as repair and maintenance, rather than SAC 995479. Exemption for pure or composite supplies is unavailable where the goods component exceeds the permitted limit. Although the recipient is a Governmental Authority, civil engineering and repair work merely connected with water infrastructure is not supplied "by way of" water supply. The services are taxable under the applicable works-contract entry at 9 per cent CGST and 9 per cent SGST. en-us Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:32:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=799237 Works-contract services for installing a new main water pipeline and revamping a distribution network involve goods incorporated into immovable property and are treated as supplies of services.
