18 October 2010 I have to raise an invoice from Pune to Mumbai. I will obviously charge VAT for goods but the customer wants me to add freight in the invoice seperately. Should I charge VAT on freight amount or should mention it seperately without charging VAT?

07 November 2010 If freight and insurance have been charged in the invoice, VAT needs to be charged on these items also. Refer Hon'ble SC decision in case of India Meters Ltd Vs State of TN 2010-TIOL 69 SC-CT
