Tds on service tax for subscription charges

Must Deduct Tds on Full Amount.

Thanks Vipin..

Hello, Not agree with Vipin

As per Circular No. 1/2014 dated 13th Jan 2014 TDS is to be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax if the service tax amount is shown separately. As in most of the cases, Service Tax Amount is disclosed separately in the Invoice, TDS in all such cases would be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax.

Service tax is not an income of the service provider as the service provider would be collecting service tax from the service receiver and depositing this amount with the govt. So, the service tax collected is not an income of the service provider and the service provider is merely acting as an agent of the Govt.
