Ok, let's say for an octahedral metal complex where it serves as a ligand.

Hmm bit of a trick question depends on what else is on it.
For starters as oxygen is double bonded to it, and has oxygen is -2, it is the sum of the other electro charge atoms bonded to it and +2
for example R-COH an aldehyde is +1
R-CO-R an ketone is +2
Cl-CO-Cl is 0

It's a neutral ligand, and does not alter the oxidation state of the central metal ion. C = +2, and O = -2.

it depends if the carbonyl group is actually charged or not. if it is not charged, then obviously it's zero but if it is charged, just get the algebraic dum of the oxidation states or charges of the individual aloms and you get the ligand's charge. usually however, the carbonyl ligand or CO is neutrally charged (charge=0).
