Availability of Composition Scheme to Works Contractors

Availability of Composition Scheme to Works Contractors

Simply put, a works contract is essentially a contract of service which may also involve supply of goods in the execution of the contract. It is basically a composite supply of both services and goods, with the service element being dominant in the contract between parties. In a general sense, a contract of works, may relate to both immovable and immovable property.

Example

• if a sub-contractor, undertakes a sub-contract for the building work, it would be a works contract in relation to immovable property. Similarly,
• if a composite supply in relation to movable property such as fabrication/painting/annual maintenance contracts etc. is undertaken, the same would come within the ambit of the broad definition of a works contract.
