Dear friends,
Re: Labour cess
It may be understood that the cess is to be paid by the person who incurs the cost of construction. In case a contractor undertakes to do construction work for the government or local authority etc., cess will be deducted from his bills and the government deptt is responsible for deduction of cess at source and to deposit the same with the Board. But it may be noticed that although it is deducted from the bills of the contractor but the element of cess is already embeded by him in his tender amount. So, ultimately, it is the department who is paying and not the contractor. However, in case of a private construction or construction by builder, the same has to be paid by the owner i.e. the one who incurs the cost of construction.
