Whether tds to be deducted on service tax

Hi Biswanath,

Fact that TDS on Service Tax is very true. You are supposed to deduct Tax on Service Tax portion of Invoice.

Exception to the Rule : As per circular no.5 issued by CBDT, a person is not supposed to deduct TDS on Service Tax portion of Invoice raised against Rent.

yes Preetham is  correct..........tds will be deducted on the amount includeing service tax ...............

YES TDS WILL BE DEDUCTED INCLUDING THE VALUE OF SERVICE TAX.

No. I do not think you can deduct the tds on Service Tax Value.

The charging section quotes that unless there is a proviso, the service tax shall be on the total value of invoice.

Now the TDS shall also be deducted on the invoice value. ie if the invoice value is

Rs 100, Tds is @ 2.5%, S Tax is at 12.36% then the following shall follow.

INvoice value : Rs 100/-

S Tax  : Rs 12.36  ( @ 12.36% on Invoice Value)

TDS : Rs 2.50/- ( @ 2.5% on the invoice value).

which result in the final cheque of RS 100+ Rs 12.36 - Rs 2.5 = 109.86 RS

DEAR ALL,  KINDLY HVE A NOTE ON THE HEREWITH ATTACHED DEPT. NOTIC ON THE CLARAFICATION OF THE ABOVE RAISED QUESTION..........

CBDT ruling apply over commissioner ruling.

Hence no TDS is on service tax portion in case of Rent u/s 194I
