Valuation of Works Contract


Valuation of Works Contracts

Typically every works contract involves an element of sale of goods and provision of service. Every works contract can be segregated in to a contract of sale of goods & contract of provision of service, Hence every works contract has to face two different laws i.e. One that governs taxation of sale of goods (in present study we will be discussing D-VAT) and other that govern taxation of taxable services.
