BIR Issues Guidelines for VAT Exemption Under Natural Gas Industry Development Act

  • Revenue Regulations No. 002-2026 provides guidance on VAT exemption under the Natural Gas Industry Development Act, effective 1 April 2026.
  • VAT exemption applies to the purchase and sale of indigenous natural gas, aggregated gas (limited to indigenous content), and electricity generated from these gases.
  • Eligible entities include aggregators, resellers, suppliers, authorized operators, and end users, provided they meet specific criteria and are certified by the Department of Energy.
  • Taxpayers must indicate the legal basis for exemption in their VAT return and attach required DOE endorsements and certifications.
  • Entities already claiming incentives under Title XIII of the Tax Code cannot claim similar incentives under RA No. 12120 or other special laws.
