TAXATION
One of the three inherent powers of the state is taxation. Taxation is a
power by which an independent state, through its law-making body, raises
and accumulates revenue from its inhabitants to pay the necessary expenses
of the government. It is also a process or act of imposing a charge by
governmental authority on property, individuals or transactions to raise
money for public purposes. Taxation is a means by which the Sovereign State
through its law-making body demands for revenue in order to support its
existence and carry out its legitimate objectives.

Code (NIRC) of 1997 embodies all laws legislated pertaining to the national

4. Value-Added Tax (VAT)
A Value-added tax (Vat is a form of consumption tax imposed
on each sale, barter, exchange, or lease of goods, properties, or
services in the course of trade or business in the Philippines. From
the standpoint of the buyer, it is a tax on the purchase price. To the
seller, it is a tax only on the Value-added to a product or service
sold. It is designed to be borne by the consumers, with sellers
acting merely as tax collectors, thus making value-added tax an
indirect tax. (Transfer and Business Taxation, 2013, Edwin G.
Valencia)
Technocart Corporation must be registered as a VAT entity
because it expects to exceed and realize more than one million nine
hundred nineteen thousand five hundred pesos (Php 1, 919,500.00)

SECURITY, LEGAL AND TAXATION | 266

sales in its first year of operations. It also has to pay an annual


registration fee of five hundred pesos (Php 500.00).
A Vat Payable or Excess Input Tax may result from an Output
Tax (12% of Sales) reduced by Input Tax (12% of purchases from
VAT registered entities). Any excess input tax shall be carried over
to the quarter.
The following rules are followed in accounting for input vat on
purchases of depreciable capital goods which are treated as
depreciable assets under Section 34(f) of the tax code:
a. If the aggregate acquisition cost per month excluding VAT is
Php1, 000,000 and below, the related input vat is deductible
at full amount from the output vat.
b. If the aggregate acquisition cost per month exceeds Php1,
000,000 (exclusive of vat) regardless of the acquisition cost
of each capital goods, the related input vat shall be spread
over 60 months or its useful life, whichever is shorter.

before the 20th day of the succeeding month (first two months
monthly return) and BIR form 2550Q on or before the 25th day of

sales of goods and services to the Government or any of its political
subdivisions, instrumentalities/or agencies, including governmentowned or controlled corporations (GOCCs) shall not be credited
against the output taxes arising from sales to non-government
entities. The creditable input vat for sales to government would be
the 7% Standard Input VAT (SIV) and a 5% final withholding vat
based on sales to the government. The AIV is weighted against the
standard input vat (SIV). The difference between AIV and SIV is

SECURITY, LEGAL AND TAXATION | 267

treated as other income if the SIV is greater than the AIV. The
difference is treated as an addition to the cost of sales or operating
expense if the AIV is greater than the SIV.
5. Improperly Accumulated Earnings Tax (IAET)
Technocart Corporation, as a closely-held corporation, is also
subject to Improperly Accumulated Earnings Tax (IAET) of 10% of
the corporate Improperly Accumulated Earnings. The IAET is an
additional tax to the regular corporate income tax imposed on
corporations. Under the law, a corporation becomes liable to the tax
if its profits and earnings are improperly accumulated or retained,
instead of being distributed as dividends to the stockholders. In this
sense, IAET is also regarded as a corporate penalty tax.
