TDS cannot be deducted on amount of service tax.Whether this exemption is available only in case of rent as per sec 194I or other sections also i.e,194J, 194H, 194C.

TDS not to be deducted on the amount of service tax paid/payable on the rent u/s 194 I as per CBDT Circular No 4/2008 dated 28.4.2008. But this is not applicable in case of payments made under other sections i.e. 194C etc.

As per CBDT Circular No 4/2008 dated 28.4.2008 it is applicable only on the rent TDS, but one can take another view also that in case of professional fees etc, service tax is not an income for that professional person but a liability to collect and deposit.Still there is a confusion on this subject and better to deduct TDS on payment made other than on Rent.
