[satbir singhwahi]

Sir

Kindly clarify from which date the reimbursement of expences are taxable under service tax.

[PAWAN KUMAR]

Dear Sir,

The reimbursement of expenses shall be taxable from the date of enactment of finance bill 2015.

AI Summary

Reimbursement of travel expenses taxable from enactment of finance legislation, creating service tax liability for post-enactment reimbursements. Reimbursements of travel expenses are treated as taxable under service tax from the date the finance bill was enacted, converting previously non-taxable reimbursements into taxable supplies and creating a service tax liability for reimbursements made on or after that enactment date.
