Tds on xerox contract

Hi Prashant,

As this is the case of Rent of the machinery. The TDS will be applicable as per section 194I -- 2%.

Payment should be after deduction of TDS @ 2%  ( TDS deduct from that amount which is calculted before service tax.) 

i hope Invoice should be received by you with service tax not with VAT.

Bcoz you are hiring machin not purchase.

But vendor is saying that his man is not taking photo copies, it was taken by client itself who has hired the machine, so question of tds is not arising. Is it okay, pl reply
