Dear Friends
Our Lawyer has submitted two separate bills one for the legal/audit fees and other for reimbursement of traveling and other out of pocket charges.
He is claiming service tax on both of them @ 10.30%.
So for as my understanding goes, service tax is payable on whole of the amount (legal/audit fees+reimbursement of traveling and other out of pocket charges), if a consolidated bill is submitted. If two separate bills are submitted as in given case then service tax is payable only on bill submitted for legal/audit fees and not for bill submitted for reimbursement of traveling and other out of pocket charges.
pl advice and give notification number if any.
thanking you
