02 August 2025 Under the Karnataka VAT Act, freight charges are generally not subject to VAT if they are separately mentioned on the invoice and are charged as a reimbursement for actual transportation costs incurred. This means that if the freight is billed separately and not included in the sale price of the goods, it typically does not attract VAT.
However, if the freight charges are included in the sale price of the goods and are not separately mentioned, they may be considered part of the taxable turnover and subject to VAT.

For specific notifications and detailed provisions, you may refer to the official Karnataka VAT Act and related notifications available on the Karnataka State Tax Department's website.
