VAT rate will be applied of the state from where the movement of goods started so you have to check karnataka VAT schedule for tax classification.
So if the purchaser is providing C form then rate will be 2% and otherwise local VAT rate for that product.

Hi Jothi,
As you are Selling goods from Karnataka, local vat rates are applicable for interstate sales also. means 14.5% CST is applicable.
If Interstae Sales are against C Form, then 2% is applicable.
With regards,
Subramanya

Thanks Subramanya,
Does it not result in unfair advantage for states that charge less VAT (at 12.5%)
The buyer will prefer to purchase from a state that charges less CST, states like Karnataka tend to loose on this front.
Pls reply
