31 May 2013 As per the AS-2 "Valuation of Inventory" Closing stock should be valued excluding refundable or creditable taxes or any other if any.

So if such taxes are either refundable or creditable and to be adjust in the future payment liability of tax then the value of closing stock should be excluding of taxes. In case of non-refundable or non-creditable taxes then value of closing stock includes taxes.
