hi there,

TDS is required to deduct on any payment covered by TDS provisions eg section 194J, 194C etc. Thus if there would be a payment covered by those respective sections, it is required to deduct TDS.

As far as TDS on service tax is concerned. If a vendor has charged service tax in invoice. Gross amount of bill would be subject to TDS as per section 194C. also the same is clarified in a notification.

Regards,

Varun

TDS will be on the gross amount paid which will include service tax also.

Hi frnz,

plz refer to J K Mittal service tax book. the author has deliberated on this issue with cases and has confirmed that TDS shall be deducted on the service tax amount to be on safer side.

Last but not least , though the logic says that TDS should not be deducted on any levy or income which is not earned, it should be remembered that Act is not based on logic. Recent example being levy of Service Tax on all services of CA and non levy of ST on any service of lawyer.

Hope this will help u

Yuu have to deduct TDS on total amount i.e. ( service charges + service tax + education cess ) . Because tds is on gross amount credited to the parties account.
