TDS on Service tax

no,it is to be applicable in the case of rent only.

Dear Mr. Mathew,

The said circular "CIRCULAR NO. 4/2008, DATED 28-4-2008" is a specific circular and not a general one issued by the Income Tax Deptt. and specifically applies only on service tax on rent and " not on any other cases"

Dear Mathew,

THe circular u r mentioning above is a separate one coveribg within it's ambit only rent. Howeber in respect of other TDS liable expenses it has been made clear by the department by way of a circular that TDS is to be deducted on gross amount included in the bill including service tax if any.
