  7. VAT case for financial institution The total salaries for the Islamic bank = 40000$ and the net profit end year = 250000$ after vat for salaries Required: 1- calculate the vat must be paid by the bank monthly and at the end of year. 2- calculate income tax assuming income tax rate = 15%. And vat = 16%

  8. Answer 1- vat paid monthly = 40000* 16% = 6400 Vat for salaries end year = 6400* 12= 76800 2- vat for net profit = 250000* 16% = 40000 Vat for the year = 76800+40000= 116800 • Net profit after vat for profit = 250000- 40000= 210000 • Income tax = 210000*15%= 31500

  9. Case for the relationship between VAT and PROFIT Najeeb company LTD started trading without bookkeeping but all transaction with tax invoices entered to the statement of purchases and sales. When examine the calculation we know that : 1- total amount paid to VAT government office during the year = 5600 2- no ending inventory 3- total amount of fixed assets purchased which entered to statement of purchase and sale = 11600 and the depreciation rate 6%. 4- the base value for delayed purchase invoices for the next year =5000 5- during the current year paid the following expenses: 15000 salaries. 300 interest. 200 others.

  10. Required: Calculate the accrued income tax if income tax rate =15%. And VAT rate 16%. Notes: • The base value of delayed purchase invoices due to current year but did not entered to statement. • Invoices of purchasing the fixed assets have been entered to the statement of the year and that mean deducted. But these purchasing due several years. • So depreciation for one year should be deducted, That means we should add the base value of purchasing fixed assets to the profit value. • Expenses which did not pay VAT did not enter the statement and did not deducted. So we must deduct it.

  11. answer The profit from the VAT statement= Payment * 100/16 5600 *100/16= 35000 Add the base value of purchasing the fixed assets = 11600/1.16= 10000 Vat for fixed assets= 10000*16/100= 1600 to make sure of Vat Deduct the base value of purchase invoices delayed to next year (5000) Net profit before expenses not pay VAT 16% =40000 Deduct expenses not pay VAT as follow:

  12. Salaries (15000) • Interest (300) • Others (200) • Depreciation of fixed assets 10000*6%=(600) • Total of expenses 16100 Net profit = (40000- 16100) =23900 Income tax = 23900* 15%= 3585
