You will have to deduct TDS on the bill amount INCULSIVE of service Tax. Only in case of Rent, such exemption is provided by CBDT through a circular. In all other cases TDS is to be deducted on the value after service tax.

TDS is deducted on gross amount (including service tax), except in case of Rent.

CIRCULAR NO. 4/2008, DATED 28-4-2008. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has through this circular has clarified that tax deduction atsource (TDS) under sections 194-I of Income-tax Act would be required to be made on the amount of rent paid/payable without including the service tax.
