This document summarizes the two main methods for taxing works contracts under the Rajasthan VAT Act: the exemption fees method and the VAT method. The exemption fees method allows contractors to pay tax as a percentage of the contract value in exchange for foregoing input tax credits. The VAT method calculates taxable turnover by deducting labor and other costs from the gross contract value, then contractors can claim input tax credits and pay the net tax amount. Contractors must choose which method to use based on their individual circumstances and need for input tax credits on goods purchased.
Works contract is a deemed sale which involves the transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in any other form) involved in the execution of the works contract. The concept of taxation of goods transferred during the execution of works contract has been a matter of great litigation over the period.

The auditor's objective is to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and the effect of uncorrected misstatements on the financial statements. Misstatements refer to differences from the required financial reporting framework. Uncorrected misstatements are those not yet corrected by management. The auditor determines if the audit plan needs revising based on identified misstatements. All misstatements are communicated to management for correction, and the auditor considers reasons for uncorrected items. Uncorrected misstatements are communicated to those charged with governance. The auditor requests written representation from management on whether uncorrected misstatements are material. Audit documentation includes trivial thresholds, accumulated misstatements, and the materiality conclusion.
The document summarizes SA 720, which addresses an auditor's responsibility regarding other information in documents containing audited financial statements. It defines other information as financial and non-financial information other than the financial statements and auditor's report. The objective is for auditors to respond appropriately if other information could undermine the credibility of the financial statements or auditor's report. The steps include reading other information to identify inconsistencies, obtaining the information prior to issuing the report, and determining if revision is needed if inconsistencies are found. The auditor must modify their opinion or withdraw from the engagement depending on whether management revises inconsistent information or other information containing material misstatements of fact.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

1. Works contract is a deemed sale which involves the transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in
any other form) involved in the execution of the works contract. The concept of taxation of goods
transferred during the execution of works contract has been a matter of great litigation over the period.
I am trying to sum up the regularly followed methods and procedures while determining the taxation of
works contracts in the hands of contractor.
As far as the Rajasthan VAT is concerned, there are 2 methods by which the Works Contractor can be
assessed to tax. The first one is “Exemption Fees Method” and second one is “VAT Method”.
EXEMPTION FEES METHOD
In Works Contract taxation, the scheme of exemption fees is a mechanism provided for collection of
works contract tax from the contractor in such a way that causes minimum inconvenience to the
contractor assessees and also to the department collecting the tax in computing and assessing the
taxable figures.
In Rajasthan VAT Act, the relevant notification of exemption fees is F.12(63)FD/Tax-2005/80 dated
11.08.2006. The link for this notification is here. Click Here. This notification has been amended from time
to time and I am discussing the provisions contained in this notification as amended up to 01.04.2012.
What is the Exemption Fees Method
In nutshell, exemption fees method is the simplest method of tax collection and payment so far as the
assessee and taxing authority is concerned. In this method, a list of specific kind of works contracts is
specified and tax is charged as a percentage of total gross value of said works contract. The assessee is
required to exercise this option by way of submitting an application along with the copy of the work order
received and the department will issue exemption certificate on the basis of nature of works contract
involved.
Major Features of Exemption Fees Scheme in Rajasthan VAT
o
Assessee to apply and exercise option of exemption fees by making application in form WT-1 along
with the copy of work order received by the contractor.
o
Application in form WT-1 can be made within 60 days from the date of work order without attracting
any late fees.
o
Late fees of Rs. 1000/- is required to be paid if application is beyond 60 days from the date of work
order but within 1 year from this date.
o
Late fees of Rs. 5000/- is required to be paid if application is beyond 1 year from the date of work
order but within 2 years from this date.
o
No application will be entertained after expiry of 2 years from the date of work order.
o
After receipt of application, the assessing authority shall issue exemption certificate in form WT-3
specifying the rate of exemption fees to be payable on each type of work order for which application
has been received. Form WT-3 is issued work order wise.
o
Such contractor is required to make payment of exemption fees as specified in exemption certificate.
o
If the awarder is not deducting TDS from the contractor, then contractor is required to pay such
exemption fees in equal monthly installments during the period of the contract from the date of filing of
the application.
o
The contractor shall not be entitled to claim input tax credit in respect of the goods used in execution
of works contract for which the exemption certificate has been granted.
2. o
The rates of exemption fees for various kinds of works contracts are given in my earlier article
the link of which is here. click here
What will be the Status of Sub-Contractor
As per rule 22(2A) of Rajasthan VAT Rules, 2006, if the main contractor has opted for exemption fees
under above notification, then the sub contractor who is performing the work of main contractor need not
again opt for this scheme as the turnover of such contract will not be included in the taxable turnover of
the contractor.
VAT METHOD
What is the VAT Method
If the contractor does not opt for the exemption fees option as stated above, he will have to go for the
VAT method for determination of his tax liability.
The main drawback of the exemption fees scheme is that the contractor has to forego all the input tax
credit available on goods purchased by him for execution of the works contract. If contractor does not
want to forego the input tax credit, then he will need to get himself assessed under VAT regime.
In VAT method, the taxable turnover of the contractor is calculated by deducting the value of labour and
services involved in execution of works contract and on the balance amount VAT is levied. From this VAT,
the contractor can claim the input tax credit of goods purchased by him and pay the balance liability in
cash.
How the Taxable Turnover is Calculated
The principles of calculation of value of taxable turnover of a works contract have been laid down by
Supreme Court in Gannon Dunkerley and Company Vs State of Rajasthan and Larsen & Turbo Vs
Union of India and Others (1993). The principles laid down by these verdicts are thoroughly followed
while assessing the VAT on contractor if the contractor has not taken the Exemption Scheme route.
Method specified by Gannon Dunkerley & Company and L & T’s case by SC
In this method, the following deductions are made from the gross value of the works contracts performed
by the contractor.
i)
Labour Charges for execution of Works
ii)
Amount paid to sub contractor for labour and services.
iii)
Charges paid for obtaining on hire the equipment or machinery used for execution of works
contract.
iv)
Charges for planning and designing and architect’s fees.
v)
Cost of consumables used in execution of works contract.
vi)
Cost of establishment of the contractor to the extent it is relatable to supply of labour and
services.
vii)
Other similar expenses relating to supply of labour and services.
3. viii)
Profits earned by contractor to the extent it relates to supply of labour and services.
Thus after deducting the above items, the remaining figure will be the taxable turnover of the contractor.
At What rate the Tax will be levied on the Taxable Turnover
Now the question arises, on the taxable turnover as arrived above, what tax rate will be applicable.
Instead of discussing the methodology in words, I prefer to use following example by which the
computation of tax liability can be easily understood.

Now the Taxable Turnover will be bifurcated into turnover of different tax rates based on the following
calculation.

Materials

5.45% Exempted

1655276
Thus the tax on turnover will be calculated at the rates specified as above and from the output tax the
assessee can claim input tax on the goods purchased by him. The difference if any will be payable by the
contractor as VAT.
This above example is just for simple understanding of the concept; however the computation of tax
liability will vary depending upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
Cases Where Proper Books of Accounts are not kept by Contractor
In the above calculation, it is presumed that the contractor performing the works contract is maintaining
proper books of accounts and other relevant records and he can prove the genuineness of the deductions
claimed from the gross turnover before the assessing authority.
But however, to deal with the cases where the contractor does not maintain proper books of accounts or
the books of accounts produced by him cannot be said to be reliable, then the legislature can prescribe
some arithmetic formula by which a certain percentage is specified which is to be deducted from the
value of gross contracts for determining the taxable turnover of the contractor.
In Rajasthan VAT Rules, Explanation to Rule 22(2) deals with such situation. It reads as under.
“Where the amount of labour is not determinable from the accounts of the contractor, or is considered to
be unreasonably high in view of the nature of the contract, the deduction towards labour charges shall be
allowed by the assessing authority according to the limits laid down in Column 3 for the type of contract
specified in Colomn 2 of the table appended hereto;”

8. Contractors who have taken exemption certificates for all the contracts performed by them during the year
are required to submit only Annual Return to the department in form VAT-11.
Contractors who have not taken exemption certificates or taken exemption certificates for some work
orders then they are required to submit quarterly VAT Returns in form VAT-10 and Annual VAT return in
form VAT-10A.
Now let’s discuss the second method for payment of tax under Work Contract in Rajasthan. The second
method is “VAT Method”
Which method to choose “Exemption Fees” or “VAT Method”
This is a tricky issue and a lot of tax planning is involved here whether to go for exemption fees option or
VAT option. A contractor can go for exemption fees option for one contract and VAT option for another
contract. The exercise of each option should be done after estimating the requirements of goods required
to be purchased for each type of contract and after doing a Cost and Benefit Analysis of both type of
methods.
I hope that this article clarifies most of the issues pertaining to taxability of contractors in the Works
Contract Regime. However, suggestions for any further inclusions to be made in this article are gladly
invited.
