Orders shall be required for the purchase of goods. Invoices shall be issued upon sale of goods.

If the provisions are breached then the tax payer shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions in force at the time.
6.3 Calculation of the difference between the sale price and purchase price of goods:
(a) Formula for calculation of the difference:
The difference
=
actual total sale price during the period of calculation
...
...
...
actual total purchase price during the period of calculation
- purchase price means the actual price paid to the seller and recorded in the invoice of the seller or in the delivery note of the goods (excluding transport fees, loading, unloading and packing
expenses).
- sale price means the actual sale price stated in the invoice of the seller.
- the difference between sale price and purchase price of goods shall include:
+ transport expenses: transport, loading and unloading during trading;
+ management expenses: salaries, depreciation and other expenses;
+ and revenue received during trading.

...
...
...
In order specifically to monitor every activity, account 40 shall be divided into five sub-accounts:
- Sub-account 401 for principal production and business activity.
- Sub-account 402 for auxiliary production and business activity.
- Sub-account 403 for joint venture activity.
- Sub-account 404 for finance transactions.
- Sub-account 405 for other transactions.
The calculation of the difference is demonstrated in the following example:
In accordance with the example in the above diagram the specific calculation of the actual difference as the basis for determination of the tax to be paid by the tax payer is as follows:
1. Sale figure (50 + 100 + 10) = 160 million
...
...
...
3. Difference (1 - 2) = 40 million
4. Tax to be paid = 14% of 40 million = 5.6 million
(c) Books of account and inspection of books of account:
Depending on the nature of its business the tax payer shall comply with the accounting standards relating to daily transactions journals, ledgers and other journals. In order to determine the actual sale price and purchase price a detailed book for account 40 shall be maintained in which entries are made recording sales and results. The purchase price of goods for sale shall be determined first.
The value of materials and goods calculated in the accounts shall reflect their actual value. In reality, the materials and goods of the tax payers will be purchased from many sources, on many occasions and for different actual prices. Due to this the business units shall adopt methods for determining the purchase price of their goods inaccordance with the nature of their business and the level of skill of its management. The value of the purchase price of goods for sale shall be based on the actual sale price, a previous sale price or the average sale price of previous sales. In reality however, many trading businesses use the calculation price.
The calculation price of materials and goods means a standard price fixed within the business and which is used consistently throughout the period of calculation or for one year. The calculation price may be the budgeted price, or price fixed by the State for the sale or purchase of materials.
The quantity of materials and goods to be credited or debited in a detailed account (in vouchers, detailed books, and record of goods received and delivered) shall be valued according to their calculation price. The accounting method to be used in order to adjust the value of materials and goods in accordance with actual price is as follows:
The value of materials and goods leaving the warehouse according to actual price
=
...
...
...
x
The ratio of the actual price to the account price
The ratio between the actual price and the calculation price
=
The actual price of the stock of materials and goods at the start of the period of calculation
+
The actual price of materials and goods added to stock during the period
The calculation price of materials and goods in stock at the beginning of the period of calculation
...
...
...
The calculation price of materials and goods added to stock during the period
The ratio of materials and goods may be calculated for each group of goods or each item of goods and materials.
Where tax payers adopt the method of keeping a book of vouchers the calculations relating to goods, their sale and purchases of them for the business shall be recorded in the following detailed lists and books:
List No. 8: total additions to and decreases of stock and the balance remaining
List No. 9: costs of goods sold
List No. 10: goods delivered for sale (Account 25)
List No. 11: payments received from the purchaser (Account 61)
Detailed book No. 3: sales and results
Detailed book No. 4: payments from purchasers
...
...
...
6.4 Monthly payment of provisional turnover tax:
(a) A determination of the ratio of the difference between the sale price and purchase price shall be used as the basis upon which to calculate a provisional payment of turnover tax.
- The actual difference between the purchase price and the sale price for the last three months of the previous year will be used to determine the ratio between the sale price and the purchase price for comparing with the actual turnover in order to calculate provisional tax for the period.
- The actual difference will be determined quarterly and at the end of each year in order to determine the amount of tax to be paid.
For example where goods were sold in the previous period to a value of one hundred and sixty (160) million:
Value of the purchase price for sale is one hundred and twenty (120) million.
The differential ratio between sale price and purchase price
=
160 - 120
...
...
...
100%
=
25 %
160
In the event that the composition of goods in the group changes the above ratio shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) Calculation of provisional turnover tax to be paid during the tax period.
The basis upon which turnover tax shall be calculated on turnover during the tax period and tax rate to be applied in respect of each group of goods in order to calculate the provisional tax payable shall be that contained in the following formula:
Provisional tax
=
...
...
...
x
new ratio or ratio in the previous period
x
tax rate
In the example referred to above the monthly turnover of goods is $60 million and the tax rate 14%
Provisional tax payment = 25% x 14% x 60 million = 2,1 million
6.5 Calculation of tax paid quarterly and yearly:
(a) The determination of tax paid shall be based on the quarterly calculation of the tax payer (as shown in clause 6.3)
(b) Calculation of additional tax to be paid or refunded:
...
