Hi

If it is being reimbursed on actual basis, then, no need to pay the service tax.  This aspect has been clarified in a  recent judgment.

Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. v. Union of India (2012) 12 TMI 150 (Delhi)
 
Rule 5 of the Service Tax(Determination of Value) Rules,2006 has been declared unconstitutional by the Delhi High Court,so as on today there is no Service Tax on reimbursements.
 
To avoid confusion better to issue debit note for Elect. Exp Amt & Invoice + Service Tax for your service charges.
