service tax is to be deducted on the gross amount charged. In the example cited by u the gross amount charges is Rs. 1.04 L hence service tax should be charged on Rs. 1.04L which works out to be Rs. 0.04 by using the below mentioned formulae -

(1.04*4%)/104

Please include the appropriate amount for education cess and SHEC in the above calculations

Moreover. TDS shall be deducted on the amount charged including service tax i.e. on Rs. 1.04L

there is direction from the Board that TDS need not be deducted on the service tax component as it is a remittance to the authorities and not the income of the biller.

Dear Sir/madam

Is WCT & Service Tax different for EPC contracts for engineering projects required for production/transportation of crude oil. Both are applicable for a particular contract or they are substitute to each other.
