Our company caterer incurred certain repair charges which we were supposed to reimburse.
He raised invoice for reimbursement. He got the repairs done by a service centre and produced invoice raised by that service centre as supporting.
The service centre had charged VAT @ 0.5 %.
In the invoice raised by the caterer, he has charged VAT @ 4 %.
Should VAT be paid on reimbursement when it is very clear that the caterer is not making any profit out of that transaction.

On 31-03-07, We made some provisions for professional fees.
We deducted TDS @ 5.1% at Rs. 6,00,000/-
Now on receiving final invoices party has given invoices of Rs. 5,00,000/- only and current rate of TDS is 10.3% for professional fees.
Now, What will be out treatment of TDS on these invoices?
