If you have received payments for civil contracts after deduction of WCT-TDS, then following is the accounting treatment for the such TDS amount:
1) WCT - TDS Receivable A/C Dr. (Loans & Advances - Current Assets) ----To Debtor A/C (Being WCT-TDS deducted by party on Civil contract).
2) VAT / CST payable A/C Dr. ----To WCT - TDS Receivable A/C (Being WCT-TDS credit utilised for payment of VAT / CST).
Note: 1) You cannot claim WCT-TDS against your Income Tax Liability...
2) You can claim such TDS only against your VAT / CST Liability...
3) If you are an Unregistered Dealer, then you can directly expense out such TDS amount..
