Normal VAT Transactions (12%) Part 1

- Sales Returns, Allowances and Sales Discounts (Gross Selling Price v. Gross Sales)
- While the law says that VAT is based on the gross selling price, "gross selling price" does not mean gross sales. The law and regulations allow downward adjustments for: (1) sales returns and allowances (2) sales discounts agreed upon at the time of sale indicated in the sales invoice, and availed of by the buyer.
- Sales Discount = granted and indicated in the invoice
- Sales Return and Allowances = deducted from gross sales for the month or quarter in which refund is made or a credit memo was issued

- In transaction deemed as sales, or where the gross selling price unusually lower than the actual market value; the CIR shall determine the appropriate tax base.
- Sale of Goods to Senior Citizens and PWD
- Sales (exclusive of VAT) less 20% = VATable sale + 12% VAT rate
- Privileges to PWD shall not be claimed if PWD claims a higher discount as may be granted by a commercial establishment and/or under existing laws in combination with other discount programs. Thus, a PWD who is at the same time a senior citizen can only claim 20% discount on a particular sale transaction.
