18 February 2009 Whether service tax is required on out off pocket expenses in professional's bill?
Is there any change if they raised a different invoice for out off pocket expense?

18 February 2009 If you are raising out of pocket expenases exactly with details and proper bills say conveyance - 845 , food - 642, telephone -1803 like this exact break up then service tax is not applicable.

If you say out of pocket expenses 3600 without giving break up of each item then service tax is applicable.

Do not make difference if you make single or seperate bill.
