We are instructed to Charge Tax on Lorry freight (To Be bared By the Purchaser)advance My feeling is it should not be the case as its Hand loan type activity ..we pay on behalf of the purchaser wheren The driver asks for diesel expenses

Thanks for your Reply Sir

But this frieght is fully borne by the buyer ..i just give advance to lorry driver towards his expense until he reaches the destination.I think the buyer will pay Tax when the transporter gives him invoice

I can raise a debit note for this amount..but sometimes it may not get accounted by the party hence we do mention the frieght in Invoice in order for proper accounting

Please clarify sir
