20 December 2013 i believe you must be having a contract with the security service provider. Deduct under 194C. it will be including service tax if the service tax is included in the bill. If service tax is charged separately, TDS wont apply on service tax.

TDS rates:

(i) one per cent where the payment is being made or credit is being given to an individual or a Hindu undivided family;

(ii) two per cent where the payment is being made or credit is being given to a person other than an individual or a Hindu undivided family.

The above shall be applicable if the annual billing exceed Rs 75 thousand or an individual invoice exceed Rs 30 thousand.

however if service provider is Individual, HUF, proprietary or partnership firm, AOP located in taxable territory you have to discharge service tax liability as per reverse charge mechanism
