- Export-oriented enterprises (EOEs) can now enjoy VAT zero-rating on local purchases and VAT exemption on importations, not just those with tax incentives from investment promotion agencies.
- The CREATE MORE Act (RA 12066) expanded VAT zero-rating to all sales of goods and services to EOEs and exempted their importations from VAT.
- EOEs must meet a 70% export sales threshold of total annual production to qualify for these VAT benefits.
- Goods and services must be directly attributable and necessary to the export activity to qualify for VAT zero-rating or exemption.
- The DTI-EMB is responsible for certifying EOEs’ compliance with the export sales threshold; failure to meet the threshold disqualifies the EOE from VAT benefits for the following year.
