    IF BILL SHOWS

    bill amount 10 for contract work

    service tax on 40% of bill amount = 4 x 12.36% .50

    contractor provide the bill as 10
    service tax of our share 0.25
    service tax of receiver share = 0.25

    BILL TOTAL 10.25

    TDS TO BE DEDUCTED ON 10 OR 10.25

    2. ANOTHER CONTRACTOR PROVIDED THE BILL AS

    SERVICE AMOUNT 10
    SERVICE TAX ON 40% OF BILL 0.50
    TOTAL BILL 10.50

    WHOSE BILL IS CORRECT AND ON WHAT AMOUNT TDS TO BE DEDUCTED, PLEASE CONFIRM

  7. Jaya Sankar Kumar says:

    TDS to be deducted only on the amount of Rs.30000 but not on Rs.33708 if and only if the 2 conditions satisfied.
    1. payment should be made to Resident
    2. Agreement should be there between Payer & payee that the amount of service tax will be collected separately means excluding the invoice amount.

    “TDS under Chapter XVII-B of the Income-tax Act, 1961 on service tax component comprised of payments made to residents-Circular no.1/2014 dated 13.01.2014

    Query:-on which date this circular is applicable.

  10. Jitin Sachdeva says:

    Helloe everyone, I have a query, the cicular says that the terms of contract must indicate that the service tax component comprised in the amount payable to a resident is indicated separately, tax shall be deducted at source under Chapter XVII-B of the Act on the amount paid/payable without including such service tax component.

    So if a contract does not have reference to service tax, then wat shall be done in this scenario ???

  11. Mahesh says:

    Dear Sir/Madam

    what can i do if bills raised (with service tax) before 13 jan 2014 & received after 13 jan 2014.
    above case how to deduct tds?

    please clarify..

  12. Jitendra says:

    As per my understanding TDS shall be required to deduct on the service amount (excluding service tax portion).However if the total bill is inclusive of service tax without indicating the amount of service tax charged on the invoice then tds shall be deducted on the whole amount of service(i.e inclusive of service tax)

  13. manish jain says:

  14. CA Rajiv Bansal says:

    From the clear reading of this circular

    and my understanding this circular is applicable to whole chapter XVII B i.e. to all the sections under which TDS is liable to be deducted.
    Now as per my TDS is not required to be deducted on service tax component w.e.f 13.01.2014.
    Further clarification from CBDT is sought….

    Regards
    CA. Rajiv Bansal

  15. Anand Kumar says:

    Whether this is applicable to all service bills or only for bills u/s 194J?

    and in Rent (194-I) case we have to charge TDS on 194-I, or what?

  16. Sumit Pratap Singh says:

    1. This circular is effective from the date of publication itself i.e. 13/01/2014.
    2. It is applicable on all service bills provided service tax is specifically mentioned separately because circulars refers to whole chapter XVII-B.

  17. Shaifali says:
