	Should Income Tax should be deducted on the Service tax Charged on rent?.Suppose I have received a bill for Rent 7,334.96 ie Rent 6,650/- and service tax  684.96.The question is whether Tds should be made on 6,650/- or total amount 7,334.96.Kindly clarify

Deduction of Tax on Service Tax component of rental income vide circular No. 4/2008 of CBDT dt. 28.4.2008 it has been clarified that deduction u/s. 194 I would be required to be made on the amount of rent paid/payable without including the Service Tax. This is so, as Service Tax does not partake the nature of income of the landlord.
