As per section 67 of the Finance Act, 1994, gross amount charged by the service provider for such service provided or to be provided by him shall be considered as the value of taxable services on which the service tax shall be charged. No other amounts shall be included for such consideration to be charged to service tax. Earlier, we showed service tax on small service provider exemptions
There can be some cases when service provider incurs some expenses on his own for providing his services. Generally, these expenses are known to be out of pocket expenses. Such expenses can be of any nature in relation to the services provided or to be provided.
As per Rule 5(1) of the service tax rules, 2006, in case the service provider incurs any amounts or expenditures for providing such services, all such amounts and expenditures shall form part of the consideration for such services and thus shall be included in the value for the purpose of charging service tax on reimbursement of expenses
According to this rule, any amount paid for reimbursement of expenses incurred by the service provider, whether forming part of the total consideration or charged separately, shall be charged to the service tax.
Since these kinds of reimbursements are actually not the payment for his services but amounts incurred otherwise, this had been a discussing issue. In December, 2012, Delhi High Court held that reimbursements of out of pocket expenses incurred by the service provider are not subject to levy of service tax and Rule 5(1) is considered invalid in such respect. Thus provisions of charging service tax on reimbursement of expenses hold invalid after the decision.
