we have made a contract with party for supply of TEA & Coffee material with coffee machine for which we have to pay rental as per term & condition of contract. party has raised the bill for same and raising only one bill for both (material supplied + Rental of Machine) in bill Party is not claiming service tax on rent of machine or Vat on material supplied on his bills.
is it such kind of billing is deductible tax under contract section 194 C or not liable of tax deduction ?

if supplier is within the limit of 10 lakhs , then he definately will not charge service tax on invoices. For you it is immaterial , you have to deduct TDS if it is applicable. If u r customer charging rental charges then tds is applicable under 194I not 194C
