APPORTION OF INPUT TAX
FIRST METHOD
Step 1: The value of taxable supplies made is:
Tshs
a Sugar 60,000
b Cooking oil 90,000
c Laundry soap 80,000
d Toilet soap 100,000
Total 330,000
Step 2: Value of all supplies made is:
Tshs
e Sale of wheat flour 40,000
f Sale of maize 30,000
g Sale of taxable supplies ( refer the total at step 1 above) 330,000
Total 400,000
Step 3: Tax paid to supplies made to the registered person:-
1
Tshs
a Sugar 10,000
b Cooking oil 15,000
C Laundry soap 12,000
d Transportation of wheat flour and maize 2,000
e Bags for re-packing wheat flour 2,500
f Tax invoice books 7,500
g Electricity 2,000
h Telephone 2,500
Total 53,500
Step 4: 330,000 ÷ 400,000 = 0.825
Step 5: the amount of input tax to be claimed is:
53,500 × 0.825 = 44,200/=
SECOND METHOD
Step 1: Category A: a) Input tax directly attributable to taxable supplies:-
Tshs
a Sugar 10,000
b Cooking oil 15,000
c Laundry soap 12,000
Total 37,000
Category B
b) Input tax directly attributable to exempt supplies:
d Transportation of wheat flour 2,000
e Bags for re-packing wheat flour 2,500
Total 4,500
Category C
Input tax paid for the purposes of business but is not directly attributable to either
taxable supplies or exempt supplies:
f Tax invoice books 7,500
g Electricity 2,000
h Telephone 2,500
Total 12,000
Step 2
Calculate the value of taxable supplies made in the prescribed accounting period
2
a Sugar 60,000
b Cooking oil 90,000
c Laundry soap 80,000
d Toilet soap 100,000
Total 330,000
Step 3
Calculate the value of all supplies made in that period = 400,000
Sale of wheat flour 40,000
Sale of maize 30,000
Sale of taxable supplies ( refer the total at step 1 above) 330,000
Total 400,000
Step 4
Divide the amount obtained in step 2 for the period by the amount obtained in step 3
( the value of all total supplies made in the period)
330,000 ÷ 400,000 = 0.825
Deductible input tax:
Ratio obtained in step 4 of the first method is 0.825
Multiply the ratio by input tax in category C
12,000 x 0.825 = 9,900/=
The amount to be claimed is
Tshs 37,000 + 9,900 = 46,900/=
