04 April 2015 To overcome the decision of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in Intercontinental Consultants, the definition of consideration in Explanation to Section 67 has been suitably amended. Thus, after the amendment there is no doubt that any expenditure incurred by the service provider for providing any taxable services has to be included in the value of taxable services unless specifically excluded and Service Tax would be chargeable on the total value including the reimbursable expenses incurred by the service providers. However, the inclusion of reimbursable expenses for the period prior to the amendment is yet to be decided by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
