i have a doubt on vat calculation on medicines in karnataka.

Vat on medicines in karnataka is on MRP. What does it mean? 

a)     does it mean that manufacturer or the number 1 seller will pay complete Vat and noone is required to pay it thereafter?

b)    does it mean that vat will be calculated on MRP and will be paid by all?
