25 February 2014 There will be no service tax if it is proved that the amount was incurred on behalf of the contractee and proper receipts of expenses are attached with the invoice. We must remember that if the reimbursements amount (actual incurred) have been separately shown in the Invoice, and the service provider has proper documentary evidence to support the fact that the amounts incurred are reimbursement of expenses” then it would not be treated as a service charge but mere obligation of other met by service provider.
