Hello, We chartered vessel for long term and Owners raising Invoices to us on voyage basis. As per prevailing rules all Agency and port expenses are first paid by Masters and subsequently they pass on those expense to us with a DEBIT NOTE adding further 14% Service Tax on that.
Pl advice,:"Service Tax is already paid once when the agency/Port raised bill to Vsl Owners. Is it correct to add service tax again in Owners Debit note when, actually there is no service provided by them directly."
