We are receiving a rent from ICICI bank on Commercial property but the bank is not paying to us the Service tax amount on the rental amount.
Are we liable to pay the service tax amount, even the bank does not pay to us & if yes then shall we calculate it on prorata basis assuming that the rent recd. included the service tax amount.

Kindly answer the query?

Dear Experts,

One of the client having mfg unit, is receiving bills for the payment
to the contactor ( security gurad, etc...) as under:

charges for the month Rs.1,00,000

Add: S Tax 10.3% Rs. 10,300

TOTAL Rs. 1,10,300
Add: Reimbursed Exp Rs. 50,000
(Fixed)
BILL TOTAL Rs. 1,60,300

On the above bill party deducts TDS on 1,10,300 @ 2%.

My question is :
1) Is the bill raised correct ?
