Monthly and Quarterly VAT Reports for the Philippines

The VAT Form 2550M and VAT Form 2550Q are the forms you submit to the Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to report your tax liability or to claim a refund. You can filter the applicable tax period of the reports and NetSuite automatically calculates the amounts that appear in many of the boxes on the BIR VAT forms. The International Tax Reports SuiteApp provides both the monthly Form 2550M and the quarterly Form 2550Q.

Most of the boxes are automatically computed based on entered transactions with VAT. You can click these boxes to view a report of the individual transactions that make up the balance. However, some of the boxes such as report adjustments, amortizations, deferrals, and others, require manual calculation and input because the values cannot be automatically computed by the system. These boxes will show up as editable fields in the report.

You should review all the values in the report. You can click the values in the boxes of the VAT report to view drill down details. To understand how NetSuite uses the tax codes to get the values for the Monthly Value-Added Tax Declaration form 2550M, see What goes into each box - Philippines Monthly VAT Form 2550M. For information about reporting Output VAT related to bad debts, see Philippines Quarterly VAT Form 2550Q.
