tds on service tax

Dear Padma,

It is debated issue, well your point is valid.But still we need to deduct TDS inclusive of service tax except for Rent bill ( refer CIRCULAR NO. 4/2008, DATED 28-4-2008: from CTBT states that "Service tax paid by the tenant doesn't 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"

Dear Padma, In short You can deduct TDS on all service bills except for Rent bill where you have deduct only on basic rent value,ignore TDS on Service Tax. regards Nandha

Dear Padma As per the circular of Income Tax from 01/05/2008 it is clear that NO TDs on any taxes, cess, or surcharge on Tax which includes , VAT, CST, Service Tax and such other taxes.
