17 January 2013 According to me Full time Directors are not liable for service tax, in our case directors is full time.

27 July 2025 It seems you're discussing TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on director's remuneration and the applicability of Service Tax for director services, particularly in the context of event management.

Here's a breakdown of the points you mentioned:

### 1. **TDS on Director's Remuneration**

* **TDS Applicability**: TDS is generally applicable to payments made to a director if the total remuneration paid is above the prescribed limit under the Income Tax Act, 1961. If the remuneration is ₹5,000 per month, i.e., ₹60,000 per year, TDS is not applicable as it falls below the threshold limit.

### 2. **Service Tax on Director's Remuneration**

* **Service Tax (Post-July 1, 2012)**: As per the new provisions of Service Tax under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) from July 1, 2012, if a company receives services from its directors, it is liable to pay service tax under the reverse charge mechanism (RCM).
* However, **Full-time Directors**: Generally, full-time directors (who are also employees of the company) are **not considered taxable persons** for the purpose of service tax because their services are part of employment, and service tax doesn't apply to employee-employer relationships. This would mean that the company should not charge service tax on remuneration paid to a full-time director.

### 3. **Event Management Services**

* If you're providing event management services and charging service tax for those services, the provisions of Service Tax would apply to the event services provided, not necessarily to the director's remuneration (assuming the director is a full-time employee).

### Conclusion:

* **TDS**: No TDS for remuneration of ₹60,000 per year as it is below the prescribed limit.
* **Service Tax**: If the director is a full-time employee, service tax is generally **not applicable** on the director's remuneration under the reverse charge mechanism, as the relationship is considered an employer-employee relationship.
