Pl. elaborate query. However, every kind of reimbursement is not taxable under GST.

If the conditions of pure agent are satisfied as laid down in rule 33 then no gst will apply. There are some advance rulings in favour and some against, in this regard.

I support the views of Madam Shilpi Jain but I would like to add that exemption is available only if the transaction is out of the definition /scope of 'supply' and 'consideration'.
