Discussion Questions
The VAT covers all vatable sales of goods, properties, services, or lease of properties by
VAT Taxpayers.
As a rule, any person who, in the course of trade or business, sells barters, exchanges,
leases of goods or properties, render services and any person who imports goods shall
be subject to the value added tax. Being an indirect tax that sellers may pass-on, prices
would tend to escalate with the application of value added tax in the Philippines with
respect to prime commodities, basic needs and other preferred goods and services.
A VAT registered person will be subject to VAT even if its annual sales do not exceed the
VAT threshold. A registrable person or those whose sales or receipts exceed the VAT
threshold without registering as VAT taxpayers are subject to VAT without the befit of
an input tax credit.
4. What are the two VAT thresholds? Discuss the rule on registration for each threshold.
The general threshold which amounts to 3,000,000 and the covered taxpayer is
applicable to all taxpayers other than franchise grantees of radio or television. The other
one is the special threshold which amounts to 10,000,000 and applicable only to
franchise grantees of radio or television.
5. Illustrate the application of the VAT threshold to persons who exceed the VAT threshold
during the year.
7. What are the classifications of vatable sales? How do they compare in terms of
treatment of output VAT and input VAT?
The sales to the government but has limited claimable input VAT. The zero rated
sales and has no output but with claimable input VAT. And the exempt sales with
no input Vat and no claimable input VAT.
8. Illustrate the reporting of the value added tax in each taxable quarter.
