Valuation - inclusion of TDS amount remitted by the appellant - the expenditure towards TDS are met by the assessee. So, when such TDS is not received from the non-resident since it is not towards value/consideration, there is no merit in requiring such assessee to include even the TDS it paid in the value of services, as in the case on hand - the appellant was correct in not including the TDS amount in the value of taxable services. - AT
