I had made a payment of $ 1,500 towards consultancy to a party outside India in this month. I will have to gross it up for the purpose of TDS u/s 195 of the Income Tax Act @ 30.9% which comes to approx. $ 2,152 and i also have to pay service tax to the government @ 10.3% on the same as import of service. Now my query is whether $ 2,152 would be the figure inclusive or exclusive of Service Tax and whether TDS is liable to be deducted on the service tax payment and if yes then how will the computation be? Please reply.
