    VALUE ADDED TAX

    A. BUSINESS TAXES

    Business taxes are those imposed upon onerous transfers such as sale, barter, exchange and importation.
    It is called as such because without a business pursued in the Philippines (except importation) by the
    taxpayer, business taxes cannot be applied. Business taxes are in addition to income and other taxes paid,
    unless specifically exempted.

    EXCEPTION:
    Any business pursued by an individual where the aggregate gross sale or receipts do not exceed P100,000
    during the any 12 month period shall be considered principally for subsistence or livelihood and not in the
    ordinary course of trade or business. Hence, not subject to business taxes.

    TYPES:
    1. Value Added Tax
    2. Other Percentage Taxes
    3. Excise Taxes
    4. Documentary Stamp Taxes

    B. NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF VAT


     It is a business tax levied on the value-added on certain goods, properties and services in the domestic
    market and/or importer of goods.

     It is imposed not on the goods or services as such but on the privilege of selling or importing goods or
    rendering services for a fee, remuneration or consideration.

     It is an indirect tax and the amount of tax may be shifted or passed on to the buyer, transferee or
    lessee of the goods, properties or services.

    although the burden of the tax may be shifted or passed on to the consumer.

    C. EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS
