Well bro I suppose you have quite a no. of replies for your query.Let us take a new turn for your example.Say the amount of professional fees also includes Service Tax amount claimed by the professional.Then in this case, TDS u/s 194J shall be applicable for the gross amount (including Service Tax )charged in bill(s).Service Tax amount shall not be left out in any case while calculating TDS u/s194J.
Ex: Bill amount - Rs.49,864.00
Service Tax @ 10.3% Rs. 5,136.00
Gross Amount Rs.55,000.00
TDS u/s 194J shall be applicable on Rs.55000.00. Not on Rs.49864.00
Thanks
