> Sale of residential lot with gross selling exceeding P1,919,500, and
> Sale of residential house and lot , or other residential dwelling, with
gross selling price exceeding P 3,199,200
> Installment sale of residential house and lot, or other residential dwellings

any disposal of real property
e.
VAT rate: 12%
Effective: January 1, 2012

Selling price = amount of sale stated in the sales document or the fair market
value, whichever is higher.

Fair market value (FMV) = zonal value (value determined by the BIR commissioner)
or appraised value (value determined by the assessor)
again, whichever is higher

In case of sale of real properties ON INTALLMENT PLAN with the zonal value or fair market value
higher than the consideration of the sale, the method to compute the VAT on the installment
payment will be
Actual Collection (ex-VAT)
x zonal vale x 12%
Agreed Consideration (ex-VAT)

Sale of real property on installment plan means sale of real property by a real estate dealer, the
initial payments of which in the year of sale DO NOT EXCEED 25% of the gross selling price;
it will become a sale of real property on a DEFERRED PAYMENT BASIS

Initial payment means any down payment made plus all payment actually and constructively
received during the year of sale.

On October 1, 2019 Belle Company sold a parcel of land to GGV company for P2,000,000,
plus output VAT, with a down payment of P200,000 VAT not included; the balance
payable in 36 equal monthly installment of P50,000 plus output VAT. The zonal value of
the land at the time of sale was P3,000,000. Determine the following:
1. The amount to be paid by GGV company on October 1, 1019
