The wording of section 194C Start with " Any sum paid" which clear cut indicate that TDS has to be deducted on entire sum, Subsequently notification, circular are issued to clarify the matter in some areas. For eg incase of work contract, it is cleared that if contractor give sept bill for goods sold and his service charges than TDS u/s 194C will be on Service charges otherwise on whole, without excluding any statutory duties.

TDS u/s 194C not deductible in case where manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from a person, other than such customer.
If the above is done and VAT is charged then TDS not required to be deducted on the bill.
