03 August 2025 For Karnataka VAT on paper tubes, the applicable rate depends on the classification of the product under the VAT schedule:

Paper tubes used as packaging materials or industrial use generally attract a 5% VAT rate.

If paper tubes are classified as finished goods or non-industrial use, sometimes 13.5% VAT can apply, but this is less common.

What you can do:
Check the Karnataka VAT schedule of goods for the specific chapter heading related to paper tubes.

Usually, paper tubes fall under Chapter 48 or 49 (Paper & Paperboard goods).

Most packaging materials like paper tubes are taxed at 5% in Karnataka.

Quick suggestion:
Confirm with the local Commercial Tax Department or their website.

You can also request a VAT classification ruling from the tax authorities if you want certainty.
