A VAT calculation with stated eligibility

A classroom exercise supplies a ten-percent VAT rate and tax-exclusive taxable sales of one hundred million won. It gives input VAT of four million won that is fully eligible for deduction and a separate six-hundred-thousand-won input amount that is expressly nondeductible under the exercise assumptions. No zero-rated sales, exempt-activity allocation, prior balances or additional adjustments are included. A trainee deducts both input amounts because they appear on invoices, while another calculates output tax on the sales plus tax rather than the stated tax-exclusive sales value. The task is to calculate the net amount under the supplied assumptions and explain why the invoice alone does not establish input eligibility.

1. Calculate net VAT under the exercise.

Read the worked answer

Output tax is 100,000,000 × 10% = 10,000,000 won. Deduct only the eligible 4,000,000, giving net VAT of 6,000,000 won.

2. Explain the two errors.

The 600,000 input amount is expressly nondeductible in the supplied facts. Output tax is calculated on the stated tax-exclusive supply value, not a value increased again by VAT.
