For tds entry it's salary Dr tds payable credit so So tds will be a liability and it won't appear as expenses. But as outstanding tax payable and when u pay the book is closed. Gst paid is not out of our pocket since consumer will pay for it, we are just agent for them to pay to the government. So gst paid can't be shown as expenses

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.
