Regarding **service tax on reimbursement of exam fees to employees**, the consensus is:
* **No service tax is applicable on mere reimbursement** of exam fees.
* Reimbursement is not considered a separate taxable service if there is **no additional service provided** by the employer.
* Similar to other reimbursements like notice period or food expenses, since the company is just passing on the cost, **service tax does not apply**.
So, if your company just reimburses exam fees paid by employees **without any extra service or markup**, **service tax is not leviable** on that reimbursement.
If you want, I can help explain this in more detail or with references. Would you like that?
