**TDS under Income Tax vs Service Tax Reverse Charge:**

* For **TDS (Income Tax) purposes**, you deduct TDS **only on the invoice value excluding service tax** (whether under normal or reverse charge mechanism).

* The **service tax under reverse charge** is paid by the recipient directly to the government; **this amount is not part of the payment made to the service provider**.

* So, **TDS is calculated on the amount payable to the service provider (i.e., invoice value without service tax)**.

**Regarding Partial Reverse Charge:**

* Even if service tax is partially under reverse charge and partially under normal charge, the TDS is **deducted only on the value of services (invoice amount excluding service tax)** paid to the service provider.

**Summary:**

| Scenario | TDS Deductible Amount |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Service Tax Normal Charge | Invoice Value (excluding service tax) |
| Service Tax Full Reverse Charge | Invoice Value (excluding service tax) |
| Service Tax Partial Reverse Charge | Invoice Value (excluding service tax) |
