It depends upon the treatment of sales invoices u are doing in ur books.If u r regularly crediting the Sales Tax in Separate Account, bill wose then Turnover will be excluding of Sales Tax, but if you are not transferring Sales Tax in a separate Account, then it would be taken by including Sales Tax.You may also refer the guidance note on Tax Audit U/s 44AB issued by ICAI.However, for saferside or to avoid the litigations, it is advisable to include the Sale tax in both the cases.
