Since the landlord has charged service tax on the bill,you are liable to pay service tax after deducting tds on rent amount(exclusive of service tax)

Dubeyji,
Our total rent for the year is just Rs. 83676/-, hence tds is not applicable, but he has asked to pay service tax without any bill. Hence, the confusion, He says to give bill once we pay ST.
Therefore I am in a big confusion.

You are only liable to reimburse tax to the Landlord only if he provides a valid service tax invoice meeting the parlance of Sec 4 A clearly specifying the base value & Service Tax seperately.
