Works contracts were treated as both goods and supply in the pre-GST regime, to which both VAT and service tax were applied. Work contractors had to deal with various rates, composition schemes, etc. that lead to intricacies.

These uncertainties associated with the works contract tax structures have been simplified under GST. Activities vividly sectioned as goods or services under the GST structure will help to eradicate ambiguities and bring down legal actions.
