We have a Brokerage & Commission bill which includes Service Tax component. My query is whether i should deduct TDS on the whole bill or whether i should deduct TDS on the amount excluding Service Tax.I had read Income Tax Act 2009 which states that any (INCOME) paid by the way of Brokerage & Commission should be made taxable U/s 194H. I had a discussion for the same with our CA, but he has a different opinion, according to him there is no specific provision provided in Income Tax act 2009 for the waiver of ST unlike in the case of rent where there is a specific provision provided for waiver of ST in case of TDS deduction. Please help me

No, you have to deduct TDS on brokerage and commission bill. Only u/s 194I CBDT issued circular to not deduct TDS on service tax. brokerage and commission is u/s 194H so you have to deduct TDS on full bill i.e. commission + service tax
