DTAA does not specify the service tax payments. u need to gross up the amount & pay service tax, if agreement allows, then it can be deducted from payment.

DTAA has nothing to do with service tax- it is for income tax. The agreemnet is there on income tax department web site. Regarding the service tax liability, you are required to pay ST under Section 66A of the Act under reverse charge method. However, if it is your input service, you are eligible for credit of this tax.
