    Study Notes

    Value-Added Tax (VAT)

    • VAT is a tax on consumption levied on the sale, barter, exchange, or lease of goods or properties and services in the Philippines and on importation of goods into the Philippines.

    Characteristics of VAT

    • It is an indirect tax.
    • It is a tax on the value added of a taxpayer.
    • It is a transparent form of sales tax, with the amount of the tax shown as a separate item in the VAT Invoice or receipt.
    • It is collected through the tax credit method.
    • It adopts the "tax inclusive method", where prices charged by a VAT-registered person include the VAT.
    • It follows the destination principle, where the destination of the goods determines taxation or exemption from tax.

    Computation of VAT

    • Total Amount ÷ 1.12 x 12% = VAT

    VAT Threshold
