How to Automatically Create QAP, SAWT Alphalist, and SLSP Attachments

Maya Quick Tax allows you to generate required BIR attachments such as:

  • SLSP (Summary Listing of Sales and Purchases) – for VAT

  • SAWT / QAP (Alphalist of Payees) – for withholding tax returns

  • Other required schedules for specific forms

These attachments are automatically created when you properly complete the schedule inside the return.


Important: Manual Totals vs Generated Attachments

There is a critical difference between:

  1. Manually entering totals inside the tax form

  2. Completing the schedule that generates the attachment file

If you only enter totals manually in the form, the tax return will compute - but no attachment file will be created.

To generate the required RELIEF attachment, you must complete the schedule screen.


For VAT (SLSP – Summary Listing of Sales and Purchases)

Step 1: Open the SLSP Schedule

Inside the VAT return:

  • Click Summary Listing of Sales

  • Or click Summary Listing of Purchases

This opens the SLSP screen.


Step 2: Enter or Import Transactional Data

You may:

  • Add transactions one by one using Add Data

  • Or click Import SLSP Data to upload via spreadsheet

Once saved:

  • The totals automatically populate in the VAT return.

  • The SLSP attachment file is generated.

  • You may click Download Attachment at the top of the return to retrieve the SLSP file.

This SLSP attachment will be transmitted together with the VAT return during filing.


Important Clarification

If you only click the schedule summary to populate totals without entering detailed transactions:

  • The VAT form will reflect the total amount.

  • But no SLSP attachment file will be created.

Detailed transactional input is required for RELIEF attachment generation.


For Withholding Tax (1601-EQ – QAP)

Inside Form 1601-EQ:

You will see the Summary Listing of Withholding button. Click this to open the schedule screen.

Enter or Import Withholding Data

Inside the schedule:

  • Add payees manually, or

  • Import via spreadsheet

Once entries are saved:

  • The system consolidates the totals into the main return.

  • The QAP attachment file is generated automatically.

At the top of the return, you will see the Download QAP button. This allows you to download the generated alphalist file. When filing via Filing Options, the return and QAP attachment are transmitted together.


Important Behavior

When you use the Summary Listing of Withholding:

  • Manual entry in the consolidated ATC table may be disabled.

  • The schedule becomes the source of truth.

  • Totals in the return are based on the schedule data.

This ensures consistency between the form and the attachment.


For SAWT (Summary Alphalist of Withholding Tax)

SAWT is required when claiming creditable withholding taxes in income tax returns.

Inside the applicable income tax return:

  1. Locate the line item for Creditable Tax Withheld.

  2. Click the SAWT link beside the schedule reference.

  3. This opens the SAWT schedule screen.

Enter or Import SAWT Data

You may:

  • Encode withholding details one by one, or

  • Import via spreadsheet template

Once saved:

  • The totals automatically populate in the income tax return.

  • The SAWT attachment file is generated.

  • You can download it using the Download Attachment button at the top of the return.

When you file the return, the SAWT file is transmitted together with the form.


Before Filing: Always Verify Attachments

Before clicking Filing Options:

  1. Confirm required schedules have been completed.

  2. Click Download Attachment (for VAT) or Download QAP (for 1601-EQ).

  3. Review the generated file.

  4. Ensure totals match your return.

If no file downloads, the schedule was not properly completed.
