The works rendered by the applicant involving application of polymer protective coating for bridges, as part of construction or routine maintenance/renovation, falls under the definition of "works contract" u/s 2(119) of the CGST Act, 2017, and will be treated as supply of service under Service Code 995473. The composite supply of such works contract for construction, erection, commissioning, installation, completion, fitting out, repair, maintenance, renovation, or alteration of a bridge for road transportation for use by the general public is taxable at 12% under Notification 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as amended. The status or category of the recipient is immaterial for determining the tax rate. The applicable tax rate may vary based on the time of supply, being 18% (9% CGST and 9% SGST) from 01.07.2017 to 21.08.2017, 12% (6% CGST and 6% SGST) from 22.08.2017 to 17.07.2022, and 18% (9% CGST and 9% SGST) from 18.07.2022 onwards. The eligibility for exemption under Notification 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) is deemed irrelevant based on the ruling.
