Gst on Tax paid service

[DURAISAMY ANANDHAN]

sir I am a chartered accountant. At present income tax, service tax and other taxes have been collected from my clients and deposited the same into govt account on behalf of them. For this I am collecting a service charge of ₹ 10 to ₹ 150 per transaction from them. My query is GST should collected either for transaction charges or for entire amount ( including tax) .
