We are in business of CAB OPERATOR. We pay parking and toll tax charges whcih altimately recovered from the client.

We incorporate the same charges in bill but not CHARGED SERVICE TAX on these charges

Please advise whether we are correct or not. Whether service tax would be chargeble on parking and toll tax

Regards

19 December 2008 As per my view, it is taxable. The service tax has to be paid on gross amount charged from the buyer . If the parking and toll tax charges are collected from buyer as a pure agent after fulfilling the conditions of Rule 5 of valuation Rules, then service tax should not be chareged
