If the claim is supported by documentary evidence then in my view service tax is not applicable.

Sir,

If the esic reimbursement is in respect of security guards, or man power supplied by a contractor and if the gross amount charged by the contractor includes salary of guards, employer's ESIC, PF contribution towards labour fund, bonus, leave, uniform etc., then the service tax is payable on the gross amount charged by the contractor.

If the same is in respect of employees employed by you then it is paid out of employer-employee relationship and the same is not liable to service tax.

The principal of pure agent shall applicable in this matter as this is being payable to ESIC on behalf of the company by the contractor i.e. (pure agent). We endorse the view of Ganesan Kalyani.

Element of service is missing that mean no service has been provided in this transaction and secondly it is not a declared service, so no service tax is applicable.

Here is not the issue of 'Declared Service". There are so many other services which are not declared ones but these are services. Here ST is not applicable, reimbursement in itself is no service.

Declared Services mean no dispute about the nature of service having legal validity. For example; 'Renting of Immovable Property' was challenged whether it is service or not. Now dust settled.

For service tax purpose, transaction has to be seen on two accounts and if any one exists then service tax is leviable (ofcourse if it is not exempted otherwise by any notification)

1. Whether element of any service exists in the transaction

2. If not, then whether transaction is a declared service

So concept of declared service is required to be seen before squarely ruling out applicability of service tax.

ESI reimbursement are not covered under any of above 2 points, thus no service tax is require to be paid.

There are basic three parameters for the purpose of levy of ST and these are :-

1. There service provider of Taxable Service.

2.There must be Service Receiver.

3.There must be consideration .

If one of the elements is missing, the chain is broken. These are very much basis ST laws.
