Just check out the definition of rent... There it s mentioned as "Any sum payable"... so only for RENT u need to deduct TDS including ST... While in other cases u no need to include service tax...

Dear friend Priyadharshini,
AS per CBDT CircularNo.4/2008 dt 28.4.2008 " Service tax paid by the tenant doesnt partake the nature of income of the landlord. The landlord only acts as a collecting agency for Government for collection of service tax. Therefore it has been decided that tax deduction at source (TDS) under sections 194-I of Income-tax Act would be required to be made on the amount of rent paid/payable without including the service tax."

TDS is deducted without including amount of service tax. It is the exception of tds.
