Under the current law, there are three types of taxable activities in a construction contract. If a new product is developed during the employment contract, the production becomes a taxable event. Employment contracts include the construction of buildings, the maintenance and repair of plant and machinery, and the installation, repair and alteration of movable or immovable property. Tax information under the pre-GST regime is listed below: Previously, when the appearance of a new product occurred as part of the conclusion of a construction contract, there was the application of central excise duty.
