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
