Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A seller of agricultural food products is vat exempt. His annual gross sales in 2018 amounted to P3, 000, 000. To what business tax is he liable?
A
3% tax on vat-exempt persons
B
12% value-added tax
C
3% common carrier’s tax
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -3% is the general base rate of Percentage Tax on gross sales and receipts for standard non-VAT registered businesses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vatable Sales = Total Sales/ 1.12. VAT = Vatable Sales x 1.12.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, a doctor’s surgery won’t be able to reclaim VAT on its accountancy fees, because services provided by a doctor are exempt from VAT. If your business only makes VAT exempt sales, it’s not allowed to register for VAT. Don’t get confused between zero-rated VAT and VAT exempt sales.
