Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees' State Insurance (ESI) components in manpower bills. The consensus is that GST is applicable on the gross amount, including these contributions, as they are considered part of the taxable value of the service. Relevant sections of the CGST Act, particularly Section 15 concerning 'Transaction Value', are cited to support this interpretation, stating that taxes and charges levied under other laws are taxable under GST.

Whatever amount they are making you pay is sale for them.So they should charge gst on all the taxes which form part of the salaries

Any taxes, fees, charges levied under any law other than GST law is taxable in GST . Hence GST attracts on Expenses reimbursement even though it's ESI or PF .
GST needs to be paid on the GROSS AMOUNT ( including EPF and ESI components ). GST is levied on the "Transaction Value" as per Section 15(1) of the CGST Act 2017 and TV includes any taxes, duties, fees levied under any Statutes but not GST.

Refer the Valuation Provision of Section 15 of the CGST Act 2017.
