Dear Sir, One of my client is a job worker, and some of his clients are deducting service tax while making payment to him. Now my client is willing to obtain service tax registration. After getting registration, how he can claim servise tax deducted by his clients. Whether his clients will issue a deduction certificate like -(as form 16A issued for income tax deduction). Please advise me.

Service Tax can not be deducted. It is not like TDS. You are advised to tell your client not to allow his clients to deduct Service Tax.
