Whether interpretation of contract terms regarding taxes will be in arbitrator's domain?

 From the legal position as noted it is evident whether the service
tax liability has been agreed not to be passed on to the recipient of the
service would depend on the interpretation of clauses entered into
between the parties.
 In the instant case, the clause in question does not fix liability on
the contractor to pay service tax that apart from, the clause required
interpretation and in view of the aforenoted Judgments regarding the

interpretation of the contract, view taken by the learned Arbitrator
cannot be faulted.
