25 December 2012 Medicines are covered under the 3rd schedule of the Karnataka VAT act, 2003. Section 3 specifically governs the tax to be paid on medicines on MRP based scheme. However if the manufacture is opted for normal scheme of charging tax, you may continue to discharge tax in similar way. While if manufacture had charged tax on MRP, you would also require to charge VAT in similar way. Should you deal in medicine where both the above cases apply, you shall maintain clear accounts to distinguish MRP and NON MRP goods.
