15 October 2009 Service tax will be calculated on the gross amount paid inclusive or TDS.

It is to be noted that the payment aspect is a considerable aspect as long as payment is with respect to rendering of services.

Normally when we pay to our local vendor though we deduct TDS we still pay on the gross amount.

In your case the gross amount will be Invoice amount + TDS.

Just because the same has not been charged the agreement clearly states local taxs are extra which implies that service tax shall be on the gross amount paid to the service provider as per the terms of the agreement / arrangement
