VAT & Service Tax both will be applicable if it is a composite contract. If your are executing contract in Mumbai then M. VAT registration is also required and VAT is to be paid in Mumbai

Mr.Author, If you are carrying the required material from Delhi to Mumbai to be used in the works contract then you have to charge CST at the same rate of DVAT.If youu are purchasing all the material used in the contract at Mumbai, then you will have to register under Maharashtra VAT Act before commencing the project. The local rate of vat will be(12.5%)applicable.you can also avail ITC of vat paid on local purchases. MJK
