- Export-oriented enterprises (EOEs) not registered with investment promotion agencies can still qualify for VAT zero-rating and exemption under the CREATE MORE law.
- EOEs must derive at least 70% of their total annual production or services from export sales in the preceding taxable year to qualify.
- VAT zero-rating applies to local purchases and VAT exemption applies to importations, provided goods or services are directly attributable to export activity.
- Covered services include janitorial, security, financial, consultancy, marketing, administrative support, and more.
- EOEs that fail to meet the 70% export sales threshold lose VAT privileges for the following year.
