A (proprietership) firm is engaged in Carrying and forwarding agency. But in due course he has to employ some employees for the purpose of his customer only for which he is reimbursed.
My query is whether service tax should be applied in respect of this employees reimbursement. If yes then whether separate invoice should be issued in respect of this and C & F Agency.

Does the C&F agreement says that the employees will be hired for the customer only and the cost of such employees will be reimbursed on actuals, then you may claim the same as non taxable.
In case, it is otherwise and the customer is company, then you would be liable to service tax at 25% of the reimbursement value. Balance amount of service would be paid by the customer
