01 July 2010 Reimbursement of expenses on actual basis is exempted only if incurred as a pure agent, ie. on behalf of the service receiver.

From the facts, the expenses are not incurred as your agent.

In my view, you shall pay service tax on Rs. 1,50,000/-

01 July 2010 Dear Mr. mangesh,

My response is given below :

The would be classified under the category " consulting engineer " services.

(105)
"taxable service" means any service provided or to be provided :
( inter alia)

(g) to any person, by a consulting engineer in relation to advice, consultancy or technical assistance in any manner in one or more disciplines of engineering including the discipline of computer hardware engineering.

Service tax is payable on the gross amoutnt charged by the service provider.
In this case if he is charging INR 150,000/- as the service charge then servie tax is payable on the total amt.

Hence TDS is also deductibel on the total amount without separating the reimbursement towards transportation ( since separate bill is not raised by the service provider).
