What is VAT?

Value-Added Tax (VAT) in the Philippines is a 12% consumption tax applied to most goods and services.

Businesses collect this tax on behalf of the government, while the end customer ultimately pays for it. Because of this, accurate VAT tracking is essential for correct pricing, reporting, and compliance with BIR regulations.

Proper VAT management also ensures that your business contributes correctly to public funding, which supports services like infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

How VAT is Calculated

VAT-Exclusive Calculation

Use this method when VAT is not yet included in your price. You must calculate the 12% tax separately and add it to the total.

The Formula: Base Amount × 0.12 = VAT Amount
Example: If your service costs PHP 1,000:VAT (12%): PHP 120Total Price: PHP 1,120

VAT-Inclusive Calculation

Use this method when VAT is already included in the total price. This allows you to "work backward" to find the base price.

The Formula:
Total Amount ÷ 1.12 = Base Amount
Example:If your total price is PHP 1,120:Base Price: PHP 1,000VAT Amount: PHP 120
