Whether non-operational income is subject to value-added tax (VAT) depends on the specific circumstances:
Situation 1:
Generally, non-operational income is not subject to VAT. This is because non-operational income refers to the revenue a company earns from activities outside of its main business operations, which does not constitute the company's main business revenue. Therefore, the company is not required to pay VAT.
Situation 2:
However, if the non-operational income falls within the scope of the company's main business operations, then the company is required to pay VAT. For example, if a company earns rental income from renting out properties and its main business includes property rental, then this portion of income is subject to VAT.
Situation 3:
If the non-operational income falls within the scope of the company's ancillary business operations, then the company is also not required to pay VAT. Ancillary business operations refer to other business activities a company engages in outside of its main business operations, and the income earned from these activities is not subject to VAT.
