CBDT Circular No.4/2008 dated 28.4.2008 provides clarification on deduction of tax at source (TDS) on service tax component of rental income under section 194-I.

As per the provisions of 194-I, tax is deductible at source on income by way of rent paid to any
resident. Further, rent has been defined in 194-I to mean any payment, by whatever name
called, under any lease, sub-lease, tenancy or any other agreement or arrangement for the
use of (either separately or together) any,-
(a) land; or
(b) building (including factory building); or
(c) land appurtenant to a building (including factory building); or
(d) machinery; or
(e) plant; or
(f) equipment; or
(g) furniture; or
(h) fittings,
whether or not any or all of the above are owned by the payee.
Service tax paid by the tenant doesn’t partake the nature of income of the landlord. The
landlord only acts as a collecting agency for Government for collection of service tax.


Therefore, tax deduction at source under section 194-I would be required to be made on the
amount of rent paid/payable without including the service tax.

In the condition of RENT,

TDS will be charged on the amount excluding Service Tax.

In any other condition,(i.e Contract Basis),

TDS will be charged on the  Amount including Service Tax.

TDS will not be deducted because rent amount is Rs 170000 which is below Rs 180000.

Correct me if i am wrong.
