How do we compute the VAT payable in the BIR Forms: Step 1: Compute for Output VAT from all VATable sales including sales to the government. Step 2: Compute for all Input VAT paid by adding (1) all creditable input VAT arising during the period; (2) and any amount of input tax carried over from the preceding period including excess input tax credits and unamortized input tax credits. Step 3: Reduce the total Input VAT computed in Step 2 by (1) any input tax on sale to government closed to expense; (2) input tax allocable to VAT-exempt sales; (3) amount of claim for VAT refund or TCC; and (4) ending balance of unamortized input tax credits. The result shall be the total Allowable Input Tax Credits. Step 4: Total Output VAT - Allowable ITCs = Net VAT Payable. Step 5: Net VAT Payable - Credits ((which include Advance VAT paid, VAT withheld by the Government, and VAT paid in previous 2 months (if computing Quarterly VAT payable)) = VAT still payable.
