TDS shall be deducted on the amount before service tax I.e. on basic amount only.

Ganeshan Kalyani ji, thanks you so much,

If the service provider issue an invoice on which service tax is included in the amount of services so provided then TDS would be deducted on the amount plus the service tax portion also. However, no service tax would be deducted on the portion which would be deposited under reverse charge.

In my view service tax is not included for TDS purpose.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Refer Circular No. 1/2014 dated 13-1-2014 for TDS not to be deducted on service tax component charged on the invoice separately.

[YAGAY AND SUN]

scenario would be different if ST is included in the Bill amount of the services so provided.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

If the service tax amount is included in the bill amount, then TDS would be deducted including the tax amount. This is because the notification states that if TDS shown separately on invoice then only basic amount I.e. the amount before service tax shall be considered for deducting TDS.
