06 June 2013 If you are acting as pure agent and charged customer for the courier charges which you have to pay to courier agencies. It is only reimbursement and service tax is not applicable on it. But if you are charging above the sum what you have to pay to courier agencies, you have to pay service tax on whole amount which you receive as courier charges.
