GST will be collected from Customers & TDS would be deducted from vendors to remitt it to Govt/exchequer. This would be treated as Liability in the Balance Sheet. Once, it is paid, it will be adjusted against liability in the Balance sheet only.
Therefore, the question of expensing GST & TDS paid in books of accounts would not arise.
However, if you are paying any interest, late fee or penalty on account of delay in payment, delay in filing return, then such cost would be expensed in your book.
