What is the current VAT rate in the Philippines?

The standard VAT rate in the Philippines is 12%, imposed under the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) and administered by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). It applies to most sales of goods, properties, and services.

How do I add VAT to a price?

Multiply the net (VAT-exclusive) price by 1.12. For example, PHP 1,000 net becomes PHP 1,120 gross. This calculator does that instantly.

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the gross (VAT-inclusive) price by 1.12 to get the net amount, then subtract to find the VAT. For example, PHP 1,120 gross: PHP 1,120 ÷ 1.12 = PHP 1,000 net; VAT = PHP 120.

Are there VAT-exempt transactions in the Philippines?

Yes. Certain transactions are VAT-exempt, including sales of agricultural products in original state, educational services, and health services by duly accredited hospitals. Zero-rated sales (0% VAT) also apply to certain exports and BPO services. This calculator applies the standard 12% rate for taxable transactions.

What is the difference between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive?

A VAT-exclusive (net) price does not include VAT — you add 12% on top. A VAT-inclusive (gross) price already contains the VAT — you divide by 1.12 to find the net component.

Is this calculator approved by the BIR?

This is an independent educational tool. Always verify calculations against the latest BIR regulations and consult a tax professional for your actual VAT returns.

Can I calculate VAT for multiple amounts?

Yes — simply enter each amount one at a time. There is no limit to how many calculations you can run.
