no service tax on reimbursment.

15 June 2009 1)(i)If the tenant is getting the cenvat credit of the service tax paid on the rent, then there is no issue for him.
(ii)If he is not getting the credit, then decision is with the parties. The charge is mandatory since it is only a judgement and not law. If the tenant agrees to re-imburse the amount if it is proved contrary to the judgement, then you should not charge, otherwise for your safety you must continue to charge.

2)Reimbursement of expenses attracts Service tax unless they incurred as a pure agent of Service Receiver.
