Overview

VAT Declaration is the process of summarizing a company’s Value-Added Tax (VAT) transactions—sales, purchases, input tax, and output tax—for a specific reporting period. The VAT Declaration feature in N3 AI Accounting automatically computes VAT totals based on recorded transactions. This allows accountants and finance teams to accurately review monthly or quarterly VAT amounts, make necessary adjustments, and help support VAT reporting and documentation for submission to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

By using the VAT Declaration module, organizations can reduce errors, save time, and prepare accurate VAT data for filing.

Scenario

An accountant is preparing the company’s monthly VAT submission. Instead of manually consolidating sales, purchases, and tax calculations from multiple sources, they use N3 AI Accounting’s VAT Declaration feature. The system consolidates all VAT transactions for the reporting period, calculates output and input VAT, and provides a summary for review. Any necessary adjustments can be entered directly within the module before saving, ensuring accurate reporting and reducing manual errors.

Procedure:

Important Preparations

1. Ensure the company is VAT-registered under Company Profile > BIR.

2. Verify that all VAT transactions for the reporting period have been recorded in the system.

Steps to Generate VAT Declaration

1. Navigate to BIR > VAT Declaration.

2. Select the working year for the VAT period.

3. Review the system-calculated monthly VAT amounts.

4. Enter any required manual adjustments if necessary.

5. Click Save to finalize the VAT Declaration.

6. Confirm that the declaration status shows as Saved or Completed.

Notes

• The system automatically calculates output and input VAT based on recorded transactions.

• Users should review the computed amounts for accuracy before saving.

• VAT Declaration can be prepared for monthly or quarterly periods depending on the company’s filing requirements.

• Missing or incorrect transactions should be corrected in the system prior to generating the declaration.
