A user is seeking clarification on whether service tax is applicable to TDS reimbursements received from a third-party company for manpower services rendered during the service tax era. They have already paid service tax on PF and ESIC reimbursements. The consensus is that TDS is considered income and therefore subject to service tax.
I had entered into a Contract with a third party company of providing Manpower services during the service tax era. The company gave me reimbursement of expenses of PF, ESIC and also TDS.
Do I have pay Service tax on Reimbursement of TDS expenses as it does not form part of my taxable services.
The company gave me the TDS amount as reimbursement for the amount they deducted from my Sales bill. I have made the service tax payment on PF and ESIC.
