Under the CBDT circular,the Board has decided that wherever in terms of the agreement/ contract between the payer and the payee, the service tax component comprised in the amount payable to a resident is indicated separately, tax shall be deducted at source under Chapter XVII-B of the Act on the amount paid/payable without including such service tax component.
Kindly clarify whether the same should be required on agreement specifically or ST charged separately on Invoice will suffice.
This is because with many vendors there are no such agreements/contracts.

Agreement may not be required in written form as it is not mandated in circular . . If servicetax is shown seperately in invoice it will be enough

Ganesh Sir, As per the circular it is written that "The Board has decided that wherever in terms of the agreement/ contract between the payer and the payee"; Terms of agreement are there in a written agreement only as per my point of view. So it is implied here that the agreement should be written only.

The terms of agreement can be oral. The circular only says about agreement and not 'Written Agreement'. The intention behind the circular is to deduct TDS on income if given separately in the invoice. Therefore the essential condition is that service tax should be indicated separately.
