THE VALUE ADDED TAX ON SALES

I. The Scope of the VAT on Sales

VAT covers all sales of goods, properties, services or lease of properties other than:
1. VAT exempt sales
2. Services specifically subject to percentage tax

Provided that the seller must be a VAT registered person or a registrable person.

Registrable person- person who exceeded the VAT threshold are subject to VAT even if not
registered as a VAT tax payer. Take note that, a VAT registered person will be subject to VAT
even if its annual sales do not exceed the VAT threshold

The VAT Threshold is P1,919,500

Example 1
Di Co is a VAT registered taxpayer with sales not exceeding the P1,919,500 VAT threshold in
any 12 month period.

Ans.

Di Co shall pay VAT on its vatable sales or receipts even if its below the VAT threshold because
it is a VAT registered taxpayer.

Example 2

Ri Co, a non VAT registered taxpayer, exceeded the VAT threshold on August 2020. He
reported a P200,000 sales in September 2020.

Ans.

Ri Co shall pay VAT effective September 2020.

II. VAT Exempt Transactions:


1. Exempt importations
2. Exempt sales
3. Services specifically subject to percentage tax
4. Export sales of non VAT taxpayers
Comprehensive Problems

Example 1: Taxpayers with mixed types of sales

The following is the sales of the company for the last 12 month period.

Fertilizers, seeds, poultry, and hog feeds P1,200,000


Fruits and vegetables 800,000
Groceries 800,000
Dress, clothes and other apparels 600,000
Furniture 400,000
Total 3,800,000

Ans.

Vatable sales are:

Groveries 800,000
Dress, clothes and other apparels 600,000
Furnitures 400,000
Total 1,800,00

Fertilizers, seeds, poultry, hogdees, fruits and vegetables are exempt sales.

Since the total vatable sales is below the VAT threshold. It is still subject to percentage tax.

The VAT model


The VAT payable of a VAT taxpayer is computed as

Output VAT Xx

Less: Input VAT Xx

Net VAT payable Xx

Less: Tax credits or Xx


payments
Tax payable Xx
(overpayment)
III. Output VAT

Output VAT is the VAT passed on by a VAT taxpayer on his sales to customers or clients.

Types of Output VAT


1. Regular Output VAT
2. Zero Output VAT

Regular Output VAT


It is computed as 12% of the following:
a. Sellers of goods or properties- Gross selling price
b. Sellers of services or lease of properties- Gross receipts

Zero Output VAT


It arises from the export sales of VAT taxpayers. It arises from transactions considered export
sales and those granted with zero rating treatment.

INPUT VAT
It is the passed on VAT by suppliers or VAT paid on importation of VAT taxpayers. These are
paid by the VAT taxpayers on their purchases of goods or services.

Sale to Government and GOCCs


Sales under this is subject to withholding VAT of 5%. The 5% withilding VAT is presumed the
VAT payable of the seller. Because of this, the claimable input VAT of the seller is effectively
set by the law at 7% of gross sale to the government or GOCCs.

VAT reporting
The output VAT and the input VAT are determined every month but VAT reporting is made on a
monthly and quarterly basis.

Example 1.

A VAT taxpayer using the calendar year had the following output VAT and input VAT during
the month of January to April 2020:

January February March April


Output VAT 80,000 90,000 85,000 75,000
Input VAT 60,000 80,000 65,000 70,000
Solution:

January February March April


Output VAT 80,000 90,000 255,000 75,000
Less: Input VAT 60,000 80,000 205,000 70,000
Monthly VAT 20,000 10,000 5,000
payable
Less: VAT paid 30,000
in prior months

Quarterly VAT 20,000
