ERP System Error: Manufacturing Company Must Separate Freight Costs from Basic Rate to Avoid Sales Tax on Transportation. A manufacturing company faces an issue with their ERP system, which incorrectly calculates assessable value by not showing freight costs separately from the basic rate. A party requests that freight charges be shown separately to avoid sales tax on them. An expert advises that, according to a legal precedent, transportation costs reimbursed by the buyer should not be included in the assessable value. The company should show the basic price as the assessable value and separately list freight and insurance charges. The ERP system should be adjusted to reflect this calculation accurately.
