21 March 2013 1. Work contract tax is nothing but VAT under local sale tax

2. Leviable when single contract taken for supply of material & labour together

3. Rate depends on the State WCT act and scheme

4. TDS is just tax deduction at source, TDS may be on any tax either VAT, WCT & Income tax. But WCT is the one type of tax

Under Work contract tax also TDS will apply

your query put under service tax category, under service tax also one Work contract service is there
