Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to reimbursement charges like cab or courier fees from training consultants. Experts advise that TDS should generally be calculated only on the training service fee itself, not necessarily on all reimbursements. The applicability can depend on whether the reimbursement bills are in the consultant's or your company's name, and if the charges are included in a single invoice or separate bills.

No there is no need to include the reimbursement amount in the TDS calculation. 

Deduct TDS only on the expense related to the training itself (ie the service component).

If it is a single bill for fees and reimbursements - TDS u/s 194J on the total amount.

If separate bills -
1. Bills of expenses to reimburse are in the consultant's name - TDS u/s 194R.
2. Bills of expenses to reimburse are in your company's name - no TDS

Sorry but that is incorrect. Lazy auditors keep making this claim but there is no rule that requires the entire invoice to be subject to tds.
