The CBDT, based upon the representations received, vide Circular No. 4/2008, dated 28/04/2008, clarified that TDS on rent is deducted u/s 194I, and as the TDS has to be deducted out of income of the recipient and service tax collection is not the income of the recipient, no TDS is required to be deducted on service tax amount.after this circular people starts to deduct tds only on income portion. However, the CBDT, vide Circular No. 275/73/2007-IT (B), dated 30-06-2008, again clarified that the clarification regarding TDS on rent u/s 194 I, will not be applicable to TDS on fees for professional and technical services; as per the provisions of section 194I, TDS has to deducted on ANY INCOME arising out of rent, whereas, as per section 194J, TDS has to be deducted on ANY SUM paid as fees for professional and technical services;so it is safe deduct tds on service tax portion incase of section 194j & section 194 c since only i nthis section word ANY SUM is used.
