As per Circular No.4/2008 dated 28.4.2008, it was clarified that TDS on rental payments would be required to be made only on the basic rental amount without including service tax. In other words, TDS should not be made on the service tax portion of the rent.

From the despcription given in the question, it does not appear that the payment made is for rent, hence the TDS needs to be deducted Including the amount of service tax also. However the amount of service provision does not seems to be attracting TDS provisions at all.

Except for S. 194-I (Rent Payments), all other payments (ncluding 194-C, 194-J, etc., all taxes paid to the supplier/vendor/service provider should be considered for deduction of TDS on gross paid amount. However, have a look on threshold limits as well for attracting TDS.
