付加価値税VAT12%の税制改正法案の動向について

税務

こんにちは、フィリピン駐在員の大橋です。

 

今週のブログは付加価値税VAT12%の税制改正法案の動向につい書かせて頂きます。

 

2017年税制改正パッケージ1(個人所得税の減税及びVAT・物品税の改正)の草案が財務省に提出されており、現在まで審議中となっております。審議が通った際には、2018年以降から適用されます。

 

パッケージ1では、個人所得税及び法人所得税の減少により減った税収を補てんする為、ゼロ%VATについて課税範囲を下記の表の通り変更し、これらの項目が12%になる見込みです。

すなわち、ゼロ%VATは直接の海外輸出のみに限定し、一方で間接輸出等に関して支払ったインプットVAT(仮払消費税)に関しては、現金還付の仕組みを作る方向性となっています。

いずれにしても、VAT課税の範囲拡大は、税収拡大にマストなため、法案化される見込みは高いと思います。

 

主な改正点は、下記の通りとなります。

 

■物品によるゼロレートVAT売上の主な課税範囲の変更(0%→12%)

・フィリピンに所在している輸出型製造企業への製造目的のために運搬される原材料や梱包材料の非居住者への売上

・70%の海外輸出売上高を有する輸出型企業に対する売上

・間接輸出

 

■サービスによるゼロレートVAT売上の主な課税範囲の変更(0%→12%)

・70%輸出売上を有する企業のために製品の加工、製造に従事する契約者あるいはサブコンが行ったサービス

 

■免税VATの主な変更

(0%→Exempt)

・再生可能エネルギーを通じて生じた電力、燃料の売上

(免税→12%)

・約10,000PHPを超えないコンドミニアムの居住ユニットの賃貸
