In invoice he is giving like
fixed cost: for reimbursement of expense for equipments separately and

But he is charging service tax @ 12.36% on gross amount ( fixed+variable)
Doubt: here my doubt is does service tax is applicable for reimbursement of expenses?

Can anybody forward me the relevant notification/rule for this.
