Whether the amount of TDS deducted and paid on behalf of foreign service provider to be included in the value for the purpose of calculation service tax liability under reverse charge? i.e. say we have made a payment of Rs. 80/- to the service provide and Rs. 10/- as TDS to the Government, whether service tax to be paid on Rs. 80/- or Rs. 90/-?
