A civil works contractor is liable to pay the service tax and can be registered under the Construction of residential complex or Works contract service. If he is registered under the works contract service, then only he is eligible for composition scheme. If he is registered under the VAT then he can deduct VAT paid from the total consideration when he is opting under composition scheme
