The only point to be kept in mind is
" Reimbursement of Expenses does't form part of the remuneration", but the nature of expenses should be kept in mind.

A claim for reimbursement of expenses fully supported by documentary evidence cannot be considered for the purpose of TDS. However, if a consolidated bill has been provided by the professional/ consultant both for his fees as also for his out of pocket expenses, then logically the entire amount paid should be subjected to TDS.
It is always better to get separate bill for out of pocket expences.

If a consolidated bill for remuneration and reimbursement is given, then both St as well as TDS will be applicable.
In order to save oneself from above a separate bill must be provided for each.

yes what you are saying stands correct, if relevant documents evidencing the expenditure so incurred are not provided to corroborate the claim so made for reimbursement.
Howsoever, if all relevant documents are provided along with the separate bill so made, then being a case of pure reimbursement, will not be covered in either ST or IT.

out of pocket expense or any other expense is not given for the service provided so it can not form part of the assesasable value.The Delhi High court in a recent judgement has declared Rule 5 of the Service Tax (determination of value),Rules2006 unconsttutional and has held that reimbursement can not form part of the assessable value as it is not paid against any service.
