1. PARTIAL ATTRIBUTION OF INPUT TAX

2. 2 Principle The proportion of deductible VAT is determined for all the tax periods ending during a calendar year according to a special calculation taking into account supplies opening right to deduct VAT and other supplies Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 5(3) Tenth Schedule

3. 3 Principle and calculation Supplies with right to deduct “V22(4)” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------X 100 Supplies with right to deduct “V22(4)” + other supplies = Vall Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(1)(a) Tenth Schedule

4. 4 Principle and calculation The calculation does not include: the value of any supply of capital goods used in the economic activity of the taxable person the value of self-supplies the value of any supply which is not made by a taxable person acting as such Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(2) Tenth Schedule

5. 5 Definitive and provisional ratio The result obtained shall be: –The definitive ratio for the tax periods ending during this calendar year –The provisional ratio for the following year (= the next tax periods ending during the following calendar year) Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(1)(b) Tenth Schedule

6. 6 Use of provisional ratio The ratio calculated for the previous year shall be used as the provisional ratio for the tax periods ending during the following year Total input tax is multiplied by this provisional ratio Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(1)(c) Tenth Schedule

7. 7 Use of definitive ratio The total input tax credit for all the tax periods ending during the following calendar year shall be calculated definitively by multiplying the total input tax for those periods by the definitive ratio for that year Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(1)(d) Tenth Schedule

8. 8 Difference The difference between the input tax provisionally deducted and the definitive calculation shall represent: –Either a tax due –Or a deduction allowable –To be accounted for in the tax return for the first tax period that ends in the year following that for which the provisional calculation was made or in case of cancellation of registration in the last tax period Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 6(1)(e) Tenth Schedule

10. 10 Alternative methods: real use and specific calculations of ratio Where it appears to the Commissioner that the method of attributing input tax according to the partial attribution method does not give a fair and reasonable result, he may by notice in writing to a registered person direct that the said method shall not apply to the attribution of input tax to the supplies of that person and that person shall adopt such other method of partial attribution as the Commissioner may prescribe Article 22(5) VAT Act Item 8 Tenth Schedule
