As per ST rule ,any expenses incurred by provider for rendering services are liable to st but any expenses incurred by provider on behalf on recipient are not liable to st.Suppose in a case it is specifically written in agreement that conveyance exp are to be reimbursed at actuals to provider by recipient then in that case whether provider is liable to charge st on reimbursment of conveyance exp paid by him?
will this expenses comes under purview of exp. for providing services OR under purview of on behalf of recipient.
Pls clarify my both questions.
