I dont think that is a right way of doing. Service charge is an income and it can not be set off against expenses that you incur as part of business.
As the effect would be one and same, show the total service charge and claim your expenes under direct expenses.
But i find no logic on doing as you said above as wat impact wil some one has by doing so !!!!!
