How to Compute Senior Citizen Discount in the Philippines | 5 Things you need to know

[@marialoretocadiente8257]

It's a simple computation for Senior Citizens and PWDs. To illustrate: lf the total bill after dining in a restaurant is P500, multiply this by .7143 and the result is P357.15 which is the amount to be paid by the SC or PWD. This formula is used by Max's, KFC, Kenny Rogers, Jollibee, Greenwich, Mang lnasal, Chow King, etc. among the foodchains. The same computation is used by South Star Drug, Mercury Drugstore. (Actually, l have receipts for these.) This also is supposed to be the same formula for Airline companies which should give 20% discount and 12% VAT exemption. Why then is this not implemented by other business establishments? The BIR, DTI, and NCSC should look into this matter for standard computation. We, Senior Citizens demand the immediate implementation of the correct computation of this discount privilege.

I'm work as customer service in supermarket, we process basic commodities of elderly. Due to the booklet they have, it says only 5% of basic commodities that we cater to them. The maximum total amount purchase of customer is 1300 per week. Start from Sunday and end in Saturday. After Saturday, availing of 1300 will be back.

Hello Sir Pwede po gawa kayo ng Video about sa Transfer ng Residency ng Senior Citizen sa From Manila to province? Gaano po Kaya katagal bago makita yung pangalan Nya sa listahan ng Seniors sa Lugar na nilipatan? Thanks in Advance

[@xilianne0429]

Ask q po sir ung sa supermarket computation Usually nakikita q po sa receipt is subtotal, less 12% vat, 5% sc/pwd then add 12% vat = total...

[@gerardcarpizo]

Xiliane. Sa DTI kasi may mga products na may 5% discount ang mga SC, pero sa computation ng VAT exempted kasi ang mga SC kaya dapat walang 12% sa mga binebenta sa mga SC ng mga VATable groceries.

[@rxnzb]

hi Sir, good eve po. Paano po ung mga BOODLE FIGHT na mga klase ng food po sa restaurant dine in/delivery? Yan po ba ay sample ng BULK ORDERS na nakasaad sa BIR? pls reply po.. gusto din po namin maclarify dito sa BULK ORDER po na ito. Salamat.

Ang alam ko po ay dapat for personal consumption po ng SC ang may discount.

[@deejaysumalbag-ii4ov]

Sir,sa mga grocery store need din bang mgbigay ng senior citizen discount?kasi usually po 5to10% lang ang markup na dinadagdag.tsaka halimbawa non vat po ang registration.thanks

[@mommybasyang]

Hi Sir, Thanks for this informative video. Just want to ask lang po with regards to entry of discount in BIR books, Tama po ba sa cash receipts book ko xa i-entry then ano amount ilalagay ko po ung discounted price o regular price??

[@WillyRoman-t8b]

Sir, chooks to go offering only 5% on take out which violated your case #3 . Take note on only 1 chicken that has a discount no matter how many chickens you bought. Should i file a formal complaint? My concerns was they are deceiving the people and the government. There was no receipt on every sales they have.

[@gerardcarpizo]

Pa advise nalang po kayo sa DTI kung ganun, kasi baka classified as prime commodities ang ginawa nila kaya 5%.

[@kewl800i]

Due to inflation, I think an amendment to the law is in order - the new law must increase the percentage discount for senior citizens.

[@maureennavarette9768]

Sir question ung bang PWD at senior same treatment ang accounting entry? DR Cash (net of discount) Dr PWD/SR discount expense CR Sales (gross of discount)?

[@louieadam251]

Can you imagine 5 percent ang discount sa electric bill huag lang tataas sa 100 kwh consumption. Pag 101 kwh ang consumption mo di mo na maavail..this is stupid bill for senior citzn sa utilility bill. Sayang lang ang pagaaply ko ng discount. Ok lang ang food discount..sa grocery wahh epek.pang bile lang hopia.. useless eto discount sa grocery at utilities

[@LeslieEvangelista-qc8ko]

Hello. How to compute naman po sa mga private resorts? 10,000 rate exclusive of Vat 20persons sila 1 lang senior. Magkano discount po?

[@gerardcarpizo]

Kung yung booking na P10K ay exclusive of VAT na and para sa 20 pax iyon, divide niyo ng 20 para makuha yung alloted sa SC, yung amount na iyon ang multiply niyo sa discount rate.

[@phinma-rbenierga]

Good day Sir! Same example as case #2 but there are 2 senior citizens. How will I compute this one? Thank you in advance Sir!

[@gerardcarpizo]

Usually, kung ala carte ung pinaka mahal na order ang iaasign sa SC, so kung dalawa sila, yung order allocated sa 2 sc then compute the discount. Kung for sharing naman, divide niyo lang sa total number of people na kakain then multiply sa 2. Note na alisin muna VAT kung vatable sale.

[@phinma-rbenierga]

@@gerardcarpizo Thank you for the response Sir!

[@InspiringHomeProductIdeas]

how about non vat sir?

[@joycristianvillanda6947]

Good day sir! Paano po kung 2 sc w/id at nag dine in sila worth 2,000, ang order nila ay 2 items na good for 1 person at 5 items na for sharing like good for 3-4 pax... Tapos naubos nila yung 2 items lang na for 1 person and then the rest is take out na nila... Kasama pa po ba sa ididiscount yung leftovers na for sharing (hindi halos nagalaw) o yung 2 items lang na naubos nila? thank you in advance po.

[@film_amv]

good day sir, saan po nang galing yung 112 sa computation na dinivide sa 12? thank you po

[@gerardcarpizo]

Kung vatable sales kasi may patong na 12% VAT sa price ng goods and services. Kaya 100% yung selling price plus 12% VAT kaya 112%.

[@chillaxation]

Good afternoon! How is this calculated for a non-VAT establishment hotel room, if for example: 4 persons book a room for 1,000php, 2 are senior citizens. How will the discount be computed?

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi, if both SC provides their SC Id, it would be dividing the bill to the 4 persons, multiplied by two seniors times 20%, billable amount is Php900 (Php 100 discount). .

[@mangamango7065]

@@gerardcarpizo by the way sir. kapag vat registred ang restaurant: total sales ÷ 1.12 x 10-15% ang computation for service charge? And for non-vat registered restaurants total sales x 10-15% ?

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi Manga. The basis for the discount from thr service charge is net of VAT. So you are correct to say to remove the VAT component then get the service charge then compute the 20% SC discount.

[@dhangski1742]

@@gerardcarpizo hi sir Gerard, is this also applicable to small online food biz (non vat) also in karinderia? Selling price - 20% thank you

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi Aloja. If the senior can show a valid ID and could be verified that the order is for the senior, then it could be subject for discount. Normally, for take outs, only the food of the SC is discounted.

[@yamaguilar6082]

Sir ang total ng bill is 3276.67 for online food deluvery (grab) Part of the bill is delivery fee 5:54 of 105 pesos. Bakit 78.33 lang ang discount?

[@gerardcarpizo]

I could only assume as the info is limited, if the ordered food is ala carte of several things, in some restos, the discount is assigned to the most expensive order and not the whole set of ordered food.

[@ben-cy6jg]

Sir bakit po ang pag kuha ng deduction 12 percent sa vat ay 1000 ÷ 1.12 or 1000 x 12÷112 = P892.86 , at hindi po 1000 x .20 para ma kuha na manilis yung 12 percent? = P880

[@gerardcarpizo]

Under the Tax Code, vat exempt transaction ang certain sales sa mga SC, kaya alisin muna VAT (kung inclusive), then magcompute ng discount.

[@ben-cy6jg]

Yes sir, alisin muna ang vat kung (inclusive) pero bakit po ang calculation ay ay hindi 12%x 1000 bakit po 1000 ÷ 1.12 or 1000x12/112 ? magkaiba mo kasi resulta?

[@ben-cy6jg]

@@gerardcarpizo bakit po division yung ginagamit sa pag alis ng vat kung (inclusive) bakit hindi mo multiplication like for expample kukunin ko yung 12 percent sa 1000 pesos , 1000 x . 12 = 120 pero kapag division po ay 107.14 kasi napansin ko sa pag kuha ng 20 percent discount multiplication po gamit niyo.

hi sir, hinanap ko po talaga toh. sa fastfood po ako nagwowork, paano po ako magbibigay ng 20% discount sa inorder na pagkain ng senior, kapag tatlong meal po ang inorder "nya". sana mapansin

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi Gary. Ang discount ng senior citizen ay para lamang sa nag present ng ID. Kung sakaling pang tatlong tao ang inorder pero isang card lang pinakita, pwede mo idivide sa 3 ung total bill para makuha ung para sa SC, o di kaya yung order na pinaka mahal ang bigayn ng discount at ung dalawa ay walang discount.

[@sixtoco4044]

Dapat wala na discount sa mga restaurants. Discounts lang sa transpo, medical at basic commodities.

[@clive0494]

sir paano po pag malaking hotel, 1 senior citizen for 8 people,20% ba agad kahit 8pax sa isang room?

It would be divided to eight to get the portion for the sc, then the amount is multiplied to 20% to compute the discount.

Importante na mai-present yung SC Card, then proceed allocate yung bill para dun sa 2 sc, then compute yung 20% discount para dun sa allocates sa 2 sc.

Hai sir, how about for example in a group of 5 persons composed of 5 senior citizens all are senior citizens in a non vat restaurant whose total amount ordered is 2500 pesos, how should the group be billed?

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi Ronillo. If all 5 SCs presented their IDs and the P2,500 is non-vat. The discount would be P500 and the bill is P2,000.

[@dianaroselin5262]

Paano po icompute po yan sir..

[@gerardcarpizo]

Hi Diana. 20% discount sa mga SC na may ID, eh VAT exempted din ang mga SCs. Kya kung non-VAT naman na ung resto multiply mo na ung 20% sa bill, multiplied sa ilang SC ang may ID. Ex: P1,000 is total non-VAT bill, times 20% percent kung isa lang SC, P200 ung discount at P800 ang bill.

[@mangamango7065]

How about senior citizen discount with service charge computation (vat registered restaurants)

[@mangamango7065]

Sa example, If there was 2 senior citizen instead of 500 saleable to SC magiging 1000?

[@gerardcarpizo]

Provided the SCs showed valid SC ids, yes, the discount shall be based on the number of SC, in yoir case 2.
