VAT Accounting

VAT ACCOUNTING

Accounting for the VAT component of a business entity is known as VAT accounting. Under Tax Law, it becomes mandatory for every taxable person to have a book of records, which necessitates thorough documentation. The tax burden is reduced, it aids in identifying the consumption tax that must be paid promptly, and keeping such records is now required on a global scale

Accounting for recording the Value Added Tax occurring from business transactions is known as VAT accounting. Under Tax Laws, every taxable person must maintain a book of records. The tax burden is reduced as a result of these records. There are two types of VAT- Input VAT & Output VAT.

Classification of VAT

The three different types of VAT rates are:

Standard Rate

Most of the goods and services have been subject to a 5% standard tax. These include things like electronics, cars, petrol, jewellery, food, drink, clothing, entertainment services, cosmetics, hotels, restaurants, and commercial leasing.

Zero Rate

Certain types of products and services are subject to VAT at zero rates, which means that even though they are taxed, the rate is zero. The provision of specific transport means, the supply or import of investment precious metals (of 99% purity or more), the provision of residential buildings, the provision of buildings used for charitable purposes, the provision of specific educational services, and the provision of specific healthcare services all fall under this category.

Exempt

For items and services falling under this category, exempt VAT is not applicable. It includes local passenger transit, certain residential structures, bare land, and financial services.
