TDS Query

Dear All,

One of the Bills for purchase of FIxed assets i.e some programming language have been purchased , consist service tax charged on the Basic amt. VAT is also charged on Basic + ST.

Contention of the Client is that TDS shall not be deducted since VAT is charged on Basic+ST and its constitutes as purchase.

However, since Service Tax is charged, it is a presumption that the services might have been provided and thus TDS is applicable on the whole bill amt.

Please help
