Out of Pocket Expenses ( Reimbursable Expenses ) : |
Before 19-04-2006 out of pocket expenses incurred while providing taxable services were excluded from the taxable value. However, Rule 5 of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 which came into force from 19-04-2006 considered any amount charged by service provider as integral part of the taxable value of service.
Any expenditure or costs are incurred by the service provider in the course of providing taxable service; all such expenditure or costs shall be treated as consideration and shall be included in the value for the purpose of charging service tax on the said service.
The expenditure or costs incurred by the service provider as a “pure agent” of the recipient of service, shall be excluded from the value of the taxable service if all the following conditions are satisfied, namely:-
(i) The service provider acts as a pure agent of the recipient of service when he makes payment to third party for the goods or services procured;
(ii) The recipient of service receives and uses the goods or services so procured by the service provider in his capacity as pure agent of the recipient of service;
(iii) The recipient of service is liable to make payment to the third party;
(iv) The recipient of service authorises the service provider to make payment on his behalf;
(v) The recipient of service knows that the goods and services for which payment has been made by the service provider shall be provided by the third party;
(vii) The service provider recovers from the recipient of service only such amount as has been paid by him to the third party; and
(viii) The goods or services procured by the service provider from the third party as a pure agent of the recipient of service are in addition to the services he provides on his own account.
It does not matter, whether the details of individual components are indicated separately or combined billing is done while preparing the invoice of total value of the taxable services provided. Even if individual components are indicated separately still the same should be included while calculating value of taxable service provided. [ Please Refer : Explanation 2, Rule 5(2), Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006. ]
Illustration 1. - X contracts with Y, a real estate agent to sell his house and thereupon Y gives an advertisement in television. Y billed X including charges for Television advertisement and paid service tax on the total consideration billed. In such a case, consideration for the service provided is what X pays to Y. Y does not act as an agent behalf of X when obtaining the television advertisement even if the cost of television advertisement is mentioned separately in the invoice issued by X. Advertising service is an input service for the estate agent in order to enable or facilitate him to perform his services as an estate agent.
Illustration 2. - In the course of providing a taxable service, a service provider incurs costs such as travelling expenses, postage, telephone, etc., and may indicate these items separately on the invoice issued to the recipient of service. In such a case, the service provider is not acting as an agent of the recipient of service but procures such inputs or input service on his own account for providing the taxable service. Such expenses do not become reimbursable expenditure merely because they are indicated separately in the invoice issued by the service provider to the recipient of service.
Illustration 3. - A contracts with B, an architect for building a house. During the course of providing the taxable service, B incurs expenses such as telephone charges, air travel tickets, hotel accommodation, etc., to enable him to effectively perform the provision of services to A. In such a case, in whatever form B recovers such expenditure from A, whether as a separately itemised expense or as part of an inclusive overall fee, service tax is payable on the total amount charged by B. Value of the taxable service for charging service tax is what A pays to B.
Illustration 4. - Company X provides a taxable service of rent-a-cab by providing chauffeur-driven cars for overseas visitors. the chauffeur is given a lump sum amount to cover his food and overnight accommodation and any other incidental expenses such as parking fees by the Company X during the tour. At the end of the tour, the chauffeur returns the balance of the amount with a statement of his expenses and the relevant bills.
