07 August 2012 Respected, My client have received a notice from service tax department. I have submitted the details and he demand the service tax on the bill on which i have charged only my conveyance bill and other expenses. The service tax guy said you have to deposit the tax on the bill of out of pocket expenses.

As i know that, if you issued for you pocket expenses bill on that no service tax will be charged and other party not deduct the tds also.

Is this guy correct or not?
if not then on which section.

Please help

07 August 2012 Service tax be paid on this. Income tax TDS is not done on that is on different grounds. 194J speaks about "income" and hence income tax TDS is done on net amount. But service tax needs to be paid on that.

09 August 2012 unfortunately no such contention for the earlier period.That was a gray area.
