Service tax on reimbursment expenses

This discussion addresses a query regarding service tax on reimbursed transportation expenses paid to a Customs House Agent (CHA). The auditor has raised a concern, and the user is seeking clarification on whether they are liable to pay service tax, assuming the CHA has already paid it. The response clarifies that if the CHA has already charged service tax on their invoice, further payment by the user is not required. However, it also touches upon GST reverse charge implications if the CHA is registered as a GTA.
