15 September 2008 Normally (even in CST Act)no tax (VAT/CST) is leviable on the cost of freight. For example, in Assam it has been amde clear in Section 2(44), which reads as under:-
"sale price" means the amount of valuable consideration paid or payable to a dealer for any sale made including any sum charged for anything done by the dealer in respect of goods at the time of or before delivery of the goods other than the cost of freight or delivery or the cost of installation in cases where such cost is separately charged.
