2550Q DeadlineQuarterly VAT: the date, who files, and how

The quarterly VAT return follows one rule all year. Here is the rule, who it binds, what travels with the return, and what a missed date costs.

VAT registered businesses

Everyone registered for VAT files the 2550Q for each quarter, even quarters with no payable. Monthly VAT filing is no longer required; the quarter is the unit.

The return nets output VAT against input VAT; the payable estimator shows the arithmetic.

The SLSP rides along

The summary lists of sales and purchases support every input VAT claim on the return. mybizmate generates these as DAT files from the same ledgers that produced the return.

Surcharge, interest, compromise

Penalties ride on the unpaid tax and grow daily. Put pesos on a delay with the penalty calculator, then file anyway; the return is never excused.
