Please find the response below with respect to each of your queries: 1. This amendment shall be applicable for all sections under Chapter XVII 2. Though it is mentioned that Circular may be brought to the notice of all officers, however Clarity is required on that point. 3. It has been specifically mentioned in the circular that wherever in terms of the AGREEMENT/CONTRACT (and not the bill) between the payer and the payee,the service tax component mentioned separately, tax shall be deducted without including service tax component.

In my opinion, Agreement/Contract can be verbal. therefore it is not necessary that there must be a written agreement/contract. But the service tax must be charged and indicated separately in the invoice/bill.
