Reimbursement Expenses - Whether it is tax on Services?


Service tax is on receipts and not on expenses

Very nice article. Service Tax is on receipts for services rendered and not a tax on expenses incurred on behalf of service recipients by the service provider. Will the FM who is a lawyer of eminence put some sense on the mandarins under him to see this simple logic and carry out amendments at the consideration stage. Ease of doing business, includes not inviting uncalled for litigation about the basic principle of a levy. Taxing expenses reimbursed, when on most of the expenses Service Tax would already stand discharged, would put a Shylock to shame.
