TDS is to be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax if the service tax amount is shown separately. As in most of the cases, Service Tax Amount is disclosed separately in the Invoice, TDS in all such cases would be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax.
However, in case the Service Tax amount is not disclosed separately in the invoice (rare case), TDS in such cases would be deducted on the total amount i.e. the amount inclusive of Service Tax.
