VAT Shareout "Ventilazione"

VAT Shareout ("Ventilazione" in Italy) is a specific VAT calculation tipycal of small business that handles multiple VAT rates.

These business can declare to government that:

  • Purchases are well divided per VAT rate
  • Sales are made in aggregated form, without applying any VAT rate 

To pay the right taxes, these business need to calculate "Ventilazione" that is VAT rate to apply to sales proportionally to purchases.

The calculation is made starting from the 1° january of each years to the end of each VAT period.

Example

Month VAT rate Purchase amount Shareout %
January 4 % 10.000 16,53 %
January 10 % 33.000 54,55 %
January 22 % 17.500 28,92 %
Total
60.500 100 %

The aggreate sales of January are 97.000 so the VAT to pay is:

VAT rate Shareout % Sales amount (incl. VAT) VAT amount
4 % 16,53 % 16.034 641
10 % 54,55 % 52.914 5.291
22 % 28,92 % 28.052 6.171
Total 100 % 97.000 12.103

New purchases of February increase previous totals and generate a new shareout for February sales:

Month VAT rate Purchase amount Shareout %
January + February 4 % 22.000 18,72 %
January+ February 10 % 59.500 50,64 %
January + February 22 % 36.000 30,64 %
Total
117.500 100 %

And so on...

Also mark the sales lines:

  • That ones aggregated "to be sharedout"
  • That one after calculation "sharedout"

For lines to be sharedout is necessary also to specify the G/L account for reversing the calculated VAT (sales are posted "included VAT" and need to be reducted for the amount of VAT).
