Mr. B Panchal, I do not know from which state you are asking this query. In most of the states it is works contarct liable to tax. In Karnataka it is taxable at thee rate of 14% on the material value involved in it. Compulsory audit is required when the total turnover exceeds Rs40 lakhs in a year.See Sec 31(4) of KVAT Act and sixth schedule.
