The value of goods of Rs. 10,000.00 will attract VAT or CST.

The value of Freight charges of Rs. 1,000.00 will attract Service Tax.

vat or cst is chargeable on amount of sales so it would be levied on rs. 10000

bharat khurana is right, amount of freight is relevent for accounting purpose, not for taxation

VAT or CST chargeable on Cost of the goods only. Not any other things. But, some of the department officials are asking to pay the vat or cst on Freight also. Input tax credit amount is what amount is mentioned in TAX Invoice is the eligible to take INPUT TAX CREDIT.

where to include freight or not depends on the terms of agreement.if it is free on board(FOB) sales,then u need not include freight but where as incase of delivery at the place of buyer u have to include freight

Sir Ji,

Vat charged on actual purchase or sales amount not any other included direct exp. So vat charged on 10000.00 rs not 1000.00. Same as its ITC (if purchase proceeds) claimed for the period. If this purchase from unregistered then purchaser deposited its VAT amount (as the case may be) then he claimed OR adjust ITC against sales proceed.
