Service Tax is not an income of the service provider, the service provider collects the service tax and he remits the same to the department. In view of the same TDS should not be deducted from the inclusive of service tax and should be deducted from the net value of the invoice. Please refer Circular No. 1/2014 dt 13.01.2014, it clearly says that “ TDS is to be deducted on the amount of exclusive of service tax if the service tax amount shown separately in the invoice”
