Should Service tax be added and TDS be deducted on the following transaction?

Facts;
Instead of each company performing its own marketing activities, one company X in India is pooling their resources together to do what we call as cluster sales and marketing activities. Essentially, all the companies(including Company X) in India would contribute to a cluster fund. The fund is then used to hire sales people to promote group companies in India, and to perform different promotional activities.

Currently, all cluster activities are paid centrally by Comapny X. All cluster sales people are also hired by this X. The costs incurred are then shared by all group companies (including X). At the end of each month, Comapny X would bill the other group companies for their share of the costs.

Questions:

1. Would the above cost sharing arrangement trigger service tax? Should Comapny X add service tax when it's charging out the costs to the group companies? Note there is no profit element being added when Comapny X is charging the costs to group companies. All items are on a cost reimbursement basis.

2. Should TDS be deducted from the amount charged by Company X? If yes, under which section of the Income Tax Act?
