No, IP never counts. Let's do the calculations together:
1. Government expects a minimum tax called CTIE, no matter how we price our product:
CTIE = (Prime Cost) x (Regional Tax Rate) x ETR
Example:
A Photo Camera Factory in Mesopotamia and Sierras Pampeanas region (Argentina) produces photo camera at cost of $200.00 per product. It does not matter what the sales price is, government expects:
CTIE = $200 x 28% x 20% = $11.2
2. Now we calculate normal tax payment. Governement will charge whichever is greater.
Tax = (Regional Tax Rate) x (Profit)
Example:
Let's assume we sell the Photo Cameras for $300.00.
Tax = ($300-$200) x 28% = $28
Government will charge us $28.00, not the CTIE=$11.2.
Another day we sell it for $220.00. Let's see what happens:
Tax = ($220-$200) x 28% = $5.6
Now governement assumes our sales price is too low and will charge us according to CTIE=$11.2.
There's a point where CTIE=Normal Tax. In our example it is $240.00. Let's calculate one more time:
Tax = ($240-$200) x 28% = $11.2
Now both CTIE and Normal Tax stand at $11.2 and government charges the same $11.2. If our price is below $240, government will charge CTIE and will charge Normal Taxes if our price is above $240.
For this factory, $240 is the optimum point of tax payment. That's exactly what Xioscript calculates for us if we tell it we want CTIE Pricing Policy.
Optimum Taxation Pricing = (Prime Cost) + ( CTIE / Regional Tax Rate)
Optimum Taxation Pricing = $200 + ($11.2 / 28%) = $240.00
And if let's say expected price for product in table is 50 000 and my prime cost is 100000 will then i pay double CTIE or again expected price is counted for CTIE ?
Based on the post above if you had made it for 100 selling at 50 it would go based on 50 as long as it's equal or more than what they want. Tho if that's the case and you can't lower it below 50 it'd be a smart idea to stop production anyways
Cost of production is basically all the units expenses/ total goods produced. Or at least that's the most barbaric way of doing it lol
Ip kicks in when it comes to pricing(selling) importing exporting fees
I know that but that are just %
I want to know how % of what
Until now i check and i saw if sale price is higher CTIE is higher too for same % but if i lower under prime cost CTIE is same
So are expectations = prime cost ?
CTIE is the minimum profit tax calculated from the selling price.
Take a region with 20% tax and 20% CTIE, production cost of 100, selling price 100: the taxable profit would be 0. CTIE requires a minimum of 20% tax from the selling price so the charged profit tax is the same for any selling price below 125.
