IMPORTANCE OF WITHHOLDING TAX SYSTEM


1. It encourages voluntary compliance The advantage of withholding is its built-in effectiveness of collecting the tax before the ability to pay and the ability to collect disappears 2. It reduces cost of collection effort 3. It prevents delinquencies and revenue loss 4. It prevents dry spell in the fiscal condition of the government by providing revenues throughout the taxable year.

BIR started implementing strictly the provision of the Withholding Tax Laws when President Marcos issued Executive Order 651 dated February 16, 1981 directing all ministries, bureaus, offices, agencies and instrumentalities of the Philippines, provincial, city or municipal government as well as government owned and controlled corporations to submit to the BIR the name and position of the employee or officer charged with the duty to withhold and remit taxes not later than 60 days from the issuance of this order and any change of designation thereafter shall be reported within 10 days from the date thereof.

Who are designated as Withholding Agents For Barangays : Brgy. Captain Brgy. Treasurer For Municipality : Mayor and Cities Treasurer/Accountant Provincial : Provincial Governor Treasurer/Accountant Govt. Owned and Controlled Corporation : Accountant/Head of Office Departments Bureaus Agencies Other Government Offices

Withholding Agents is any person or entity who is in control of the payment subject to withholding taxes and therefore required to deduct and remit taxes for the government. A withholding agent can be an individual, corporation, financing institution or government agency. The responsibility and liability shall not be delegated to subordinate officials and employees. They shall be jointly and solidarily liable for the additions to tax. Any public officer or employee presently charge with the responsibility to deduct, withheld and remit taxes who do not qualify, shall be promptly replaced by qualified officer or employees and their designation shall be submitted to the CIR thru the RDO where the government office is located.

To deduct and withheld


Study the Revenue Regulation which will guide you in deducting and withholding taxes or attend seminar like this to update Go to the website of BIR www.bir.gov.ph for more information. As far as compensation is concerned the first thing you need to know is determine the status of the employee. We need to know if he is a minimum wage earner or not. Let us take note: That an employee with a total annual compensation that do not exceed P60,000.00 annually or P5,000.00 shall be given two option within which to pay his income tax due as follows:

1.

2.

His compensation income shall be subject to withholding tax, but he shall not be required to file the income tax return prescribed under Sec. 21 of the Code. His compensation income shall not be subjected to withholding tax but he shall file his annual income tax return and pay the tax due thereon. When an employee has opted to have his compensation income subjected to withholding tax so as to relieve him of the obligation of filing an income tax return and paying the tax on a lump sum basis, he shall execute a waiver in a prescribed BIR form of his exemption from withholding, which shall constitute the authority for the employer to apply the withholding tax table provided for by the Regulation. We should know the sources of income that are subjected to withholding taxes. We will discuss this as we go along each topic.

However, employees who receive additional compensation such as commission, honoraria, fringe benefits in excess of the allowable statutory amount of P30,000.00, taxable allowances and other taxable income other than the SMW, holiday pay, overtime pay, hazard pay and night differential pay shall not enjoy the privilege of being a Minimum Wage Earner (MWE) and therefore his entire earnings are not exempt from income tax and consequently from withholding tax. MWE receiving other income such as income from conduct of trade, business or practice of profession are not exempted from income tax on their entire income earned during the taxable year.

This rule not withstanding the SMW, holiday pay, Overtime pay, night shift differential pay and hazard pay shall still be exempted from withholding tax. Hazard pay shall mean the amount paid by employer to MWE who were actually assigned to danger or strife torn areas, disease infected places or in distressed or isolated stations and camps which expose them to great danger of contagion or peril to life. Any hazard pay paid to MWE which does no satisfy the criteria is deemed subject to income tax and to withholding taxes. 1.Employer shall attached to BIR Form 1601C the following 1. the names of MWE who received hazard pay 2. Period of Employment 3. Amount of hazard pay per month. 4. Justification for payment of hazard pay as certified by DOLE that the hazard pay is justifiable.

14. Compensation Income of employees in the public sector which compensation income of not more than the SMW in the non-agricultural sector as fixed by Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board or the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) applicable to where he is assigned. The basic salary of MWE in the public sector shall be equated to the SMW in the agricultural sector applicable to the place where he is assigned or salary grade 1 to 3. 15. Facilities and privileges of relatively small value or de minimis benefits as defined under these regulations.

Computation of Wages
- The basis of the computation of the minimum wage rates prescribed by law shall be the normal working time of eight hours. The determination of the minimum wage on a monthly basis shall be guided by the prevailing minimum wages as reflected in the latest matrix of wage order and its own policy on whether employers are: 1. not considered paid on Saturday and Sunday or rest days. formula daily wage x 261 days/12 2. not considered paid on Sunday and rest day daily wage x 313/12 3. considered paid in rest days, special days and regular holidays daily wage x 365/12 4. Required to work everyday including Sundays or rest days, special days and regular holiday.

Requirements for withholding


In general, every employer must withhold from compensation paid, an amount computed in accordance with these regulation. Provided, no withholding of tax shall be required in the SMW, including holiday pay, overtime pay, night shift differential and hazard pay of MWE. Provided further, that an employees who receive additional compensation such as commission, honoraria, fringe benefits is excess of allowable statutory amount of P30,000.00, taxable allowance and other taxable income other than the SMW, holiday pay, overtime pay, hazard pay, night shift differential shall not enjoy the privilege of being an MWE and therefore his/her entire earnings are not exempt from income tax and consequently subject to withholding tax.

Steps to determine the amount of tax to be withheld


1. Determine the total monetary and non-monetary compensation paid to an employee for the payable period segregating gross benefits like: 1. 13th month. 2. productivity incentive 3. Christmas bonus 4. Other benefits 5. Employees contribution to SSS, GSIS, HDM, PHIC and Union deuces Gross benefits of P30,000.00 and less shall be exempted from income and withholding tax.

2. Segregate the taxable from the non-taxable. 3. Segregate the taxable compensation income as determined in step 2 into regular compensation income. 1. basic salary 2. fixed allowance for representation transportation and other allowances Supplementary 1. Commission 2. Overtime pay 3. Taxable retirement pay 4. Taxable bonus 5. Other taxable benefits NOTE: RATA & PERA given to government employees are not subject to income tax

Step 4. Use the appropriate table

Step 5. Fix the compensation level 1. Determine the line (horizontal) corresponding to status and number of qualified dependents 2. Determine the column to be used by taking into account only the total amount of taxable regular compensation income. The compensation level is the amount indicated in the line and column to which the regular compensation income is equal to or in excess, but not to exceed the amount in the next column.

Step 6 Compute the withholding tax due by adding the tax predetermined in the compensation level indicated at the top of the column, to the tax on the excess of the total regular and supplementary compensation over the compensation level which is computed by multiplying the excess by the rate also indicated at the top of the same column/compensation level . Example: Mrs. C married with 1 qualified dependent with a basic salary equivalent to SMW, receives P9,964.00 (382/day x 313 days/12) she receives commission of P10,000.00 transportation allowance of P2,000.00, hazard of P1,000.00, overtime pay of P500.00 and night shift differential of P2,000.00.

Compute the withholding tax of Mrs. C. Statutory Minimum Wage P 9,964.00 Gross Benefits Hazard P 1,000.00 Overtime 5,000.00 Night Shift 2,000.00 8,000.00 P17,964.00 Add: Taxable Compensation CommissionP10,000.00 Transportation 2,000.00 12,000.00 TOTAL P29,964.00

Regular Compensation P 9,964.00 Less: Compensation Level 8,750.00 Excess P 1,214.00 Add: Supplementary Compensation (8,000 + 12,000) 20,000.00 TOTAL P21,214.00 Line 1 Column 4 208.33 Tax on excess 21,214 x 15% 3,182.10 Withholding tax for the month P 3,390.43

Annualized Withholding Tax Method Instances when we need to use the Annualized Method of
Withholding 1. When employer employee relationship is terminated before the year ended. 2. When computing for the year-end adjustment Steps 1. Determine the taxable and supplementary compensation 2. If the employee has previous employment within the year, add the amount of taxable regular and supplementary compensation paid to the employee by the present employer. 3. Deduct from the aggregate amount of compensation the amount of total personal and additional exemption. 4. Deduct the amount of premium payment on health or hospitalization insurance of employees who have presented evidence that they have paid

Requisites for deductibility

3.

Premium payment shall not exceed P2,400.00 annually. Family income should not exceed P250,000.00 for the calendar year. (Family income includes primary income and other income from sources received by all members of the nuclear family.) The spouse claiming the additional exemption for the qualified dependent children shall be the same spouse to claim the deduction for premium payment.

Step 5. Compute the amount of tax on the difference arrived at in Step 4. In accordance with the schedule provided in Sec. 24 (A) of the Code as follows:

Over But not Over Amount/Rate Of Excess Over Not Over 10,000.00 5% 10,000.00 30,000.00 500 + 10% 10,000.00 30,000.00 70,000.00 2,500 + 15% 30,000.00 70,000.00 140,000.00 8,500 + 20% 70,000.00 140,000.00 250,000.00 22,500 + 25% 140,000.00 250,000.00 500,000.00 50,000 + 30% 250,000.00 500,000.00 over 125,000 + 32% 500,000.00 Step 6. Determine the deficiency if any If tax due is greater than the tax withheld from January November. The balance be deducted in the salary for December. If the withholding tax is greater than the tax due, the amount shall be refunded by the employer not later than January 15 of the following year. In case of termination the refund shall be given to the employer at the payment of the last compensation during the year. The employer is entitled to deduct the amount refunded from the remittance amount of taxes withheld from
