Concrete services, including concrete works and concrete repair services, are treated as works contract or civil engineering services under GST. Earlier, different ways of combining concrete supply and placement sometimes led to different effective tax outcomes for similar jobs, which made costing and tax planning more difficult for contractors and clients.
After the September 2025 changes, most concrete placing, finishing and repair services under SAC 995454 generally fall in the 18% slab with
input tax credit
. This standard rate applies where concrete services are provided as part of a works contract, unless a specific notification grants a different treatment for a particular project type.
