Total Item Selling Price: PHP 360.00
VAT rate: 12%
Sub-total = Total Item Selling Price / 1.12
Sub-total = 360 / 1.12 = PHP 321.43
VAT = Total Item Selling Price - Sub-total
VAT = PHP 38.57
Senior citizens and Persons with Disabilities are entitled to a 20% discount from their sub-total.
SW/PWD Discount: VAT + (Sub-total x 0.20)
SC/PWD Discount = 38.57 + (321.43 x 0.20) = PHP 102.86
Grand Total = Sub-total - SC/PWD Discount
Grand Total = 321.43 - 64.29 = PHP 257.14
