Therefore, such Composite Supply of Works Contract Service by the EPC contractors to OPTCL is chargeable to GST. The question, however, is whether GST on such supply is chargeable @ 12% or @ 18% ?<br \/>\n3. Such Composite Supply of Works Contract Service by the EPC contractors to OPTCL will be taxable @ 12% if it falls under Serial No. 3(vi) of the updated version of the Notification dated 28.06.2017. But if it does not fall under Serial No. 3(vi), it will fall under the residual entry at Serial No. 3(xii) and will be taxable @ 18%.<br \/>\n4. It is very pertinent to mention that S.No. 3(vi) was inserted on 21.09.2017.
