Regarding your query on **TDS criteria related to service tax and sales tax/VAT**:
---
### 1. **Is TDS applicable if service tax is charged, and not if sales tax/VAT is charged?**
* **This is partially correct but needs clarity:**
* **TDS is generally deducted on the amount payable for services or contracts, which may include service tax.**
* However, **TDS is NOT deducted on sales tax or VAT/CST**, as these are taxes collected on goods and not income.
* So, if the payment is for services, TDS may apply on the entire invoice amount (including service tax) unless specific exclusions apply.
* For goods, TDS is generally **not applicable on the VAT or CST portion** of the payment.
---
### 2. **Is TDS applicable on supply of printed materials, banners, visiting cards, letterheads, leaflets, etc., if vendor charges VAT/CST?**
* **Supply of printed materials is generally considered a sale of goods**, not a service.
* Hence, **TDS is NOT applicable on such payments**, even if VAT/CST is charged.
* However, if the transaction includes some service component (like design services), TDS may apply on that part.
* For pure goods supply invoices (with VAT/CST), TDS is generally not deductible.
