Output VAT is calculated based on the Gross Taxable Sales and deducted to Input VAT which is based on the Gross Taxable Purchases. The difference will be the VAT Payable for the period. In case Input VAT is higher than the Output VAT, the excess Input VAT is used as a tax credit and  carried forward to the next taxable period.

For Purchaser it will be Input VAT and for Seller it will be output vat.
