TDS should be deducted under Section 194C.

I think this is the case of rent a cab services then may I know how you treat with service tax ...

Dear Vikram

If yours is a Pvt.Ltd company or Ltd Company then you have to pay 100 percent Service tax on RCM(Under reverse charge mechanism scheme).Pls.note that in this case Cenvat credit facility is not avaible.

AI Summary

TDS under section 194C applies to payments for hired buses for employee transport; service tax may arise under reverse charge.
Payments for hired buses used to transport employees are to be treated as contractual payments subject to deduction of TDS under 194C. Separately, where the hirer is a private or limited company, the service tax on such transport services may be payable under the reverse charge mechanism, and Cenvat credit is not available for that reverse charge liability.
