04 August 2011 We have received on bill towards membership fees towards a certain forum charges.

They have calculated service tax@10.3% on the membership fees and are asking for the payment inclusive of the same.

In this scenario, are we liable to deduct T.D.S on this payment? If yes, then under what section? Pls Clarify.
