DIVIDEND INCOME
1) Definition:
i) Dividend income are earnings derived from the profits of the corporation to be distributed to
the stockholders. This pertains to dividends declared by foreign corporations.
ii) It is an income received either by individuals or corporation representing return of capital or
investment. The same may either be taxable or exempt either in the form of cash or
property. The nationality of the taxpayer, the source of income whether form sources within
or without bears important determining the tax consequence of the dividends.
iii) Any distribution made by a corporation to its shareholders out of its earnings or profits and
payable to its shareholders, whether in money or property.

2) Dividends declared by domestic Corporation

a) GR: subject to 10% final tax if the recipient is an individual tax payer and exempt if the recipient
is a domestic or a resident foreign corporation. Cash, property and script dividends from foreign
corporations are items of gross income subject to regular income. (Banggawan)
1. Example: Php 5.00 Declared 5 pesos / share (Came from Unrestricted retained
earnings of a corporation, only Unreserved)
A- Stockholder who has 1,000 shares / common stocks meron tayong preferred at common share. If
preferred Mas mauunang magreceive ng share tong mga to kesa sa mga Common.
Meaning 1,000 shares x 5 / shares = 5000 dividend income of A.
b) Retained Earnings Naiwan na profit ng Corporation while Unrestricted Retained Earnings
Yung mga corporation pwede niyang itabi for future expansion / investment or eto yung mga
FREE portion of the Retained earnings eto yung pwedeng idistribute sa shareholders.
2. Example: On 2015, may naiwan na RE Php1,000,000 nagissue ng 100,000 shares
yung Php 1,000,000 ay madidistribute sa may 100,000 shares.

Ang dividend income ay: PHP1,000,000 / Php 100,000 = 10 Pesos / Share

c) Reckoning Period: Upon the declaration kahit may declaration for the year 2015 pero
babayarin nya yung mga shareholders for the following year (2016), kelan niya idedeclare yung
dividend income? 2015.
3) Forms of Dividend Income: Cash, Property and Stock dividends
FOR TAXATION

PURPOSES

a) Cash Bibigay ng company for each shareholder TAXABLE

b) Property Investment sa ibang company called Property Dividend TAXABLE
c) Stock Own shares to be distributed Stock Dividend NOT TAXABLE
d) Upon dissolution ng Corporation, all assets ay ipupunin ng Company at ididistribute yan. Then it
is called Liquidating Dividend. Liquidating Dividend are not considered income because it is only a
mere return of investment / capital.
e) CASH and PROPERTY Mababawasan asset ng company kaya deemed as Income of the
income earner. Kung Cash yan na 1,000,000 nailabas mo sa corporation, nabawasan ang
Corporation ng Php 1,000,000. Same through kapag Property.
f) STOCK DIVDEND Yung inissue mong common shares ay common shares din ng company
naiwan rin lang within the company yung retained earnings. However kapag Stocks naman ang
naissue sayo within that company parin naiiwan ang retained earnings.
4) First Treatment of Dividend Income :
Three Kinds of Taxability of Dividend Income:
a. Interest Income without Exempt,
b. subject to Final or
c. Subject to Normal Tax.

Subject to Normal Received in the Ordinary Course of Trade

I. Tax Exempt
a. Inter corporate dividends (Section 27 (D) 4 )
Intercorporate Dividends Received by a domestic corporation from another domestic
corporation shall NOT be subject to tax.

Example: Jollibee Food Corporation issued dividend income to San Miguel Corporation
(NOT SUBJECT to Tax)

b. Resident Foreign Corporation from Domestic Corporation

(Section 28(A) (7) (d)

Intercorporate Dividends Dividends received by a RESIDENT FOREIGN CORPORATION

from a DOMESTIC CORPORATION liable to tax under this Code shall NOT be subject to
tax under this title.

c. Pure Liquidating Dividend in cases of Dissolution of a Corporation. Section

73(A)
Reason why not Taxable: Mere Return of Stockholders Investment. It arises from the
distribution of assets by a Corporation to its stockholders upon dissolution.

d. Dividends received from a Cooperative R.A 6938

- Any Interest earned by the Cooperative on the Loan of its Members are Exempt
from the Tax. (EXEMPTED)
- Dividends declared for the members of the Cooperatives (EXEMPTED)
Exempted on the Interest income and Dividend Income

e. STOCK Dividends
General Rule: Not Taxable
Reason: There is no flow of wealth so no realized gain. It is just transfer of Surplus
account to the capital account.

Exceptions:
a. Change in the Stockholders Interest in the net equity of the Corporation.
Changes on the three things:
a. Net Income or Losses, b. Payment of Dividends, and c. Share issuance or
repurchase.

Examples: Stock Holder A owns 1,000shares 10% of the total shares

Upon declaration of the Dividend Income diba nadagdagan ng 100 shares. Pero
lahat ng shareholders nadagdagan din ng same amount so magbabago yung
interest nya sa company? NO. The same 10%

The exception dito change of interest, instead of 10% due to the dividend
income naging owner na siya ng 15% ng corporation ibig sabihin merong
income. Kaya siya exempted. Kasi may income dapat 10% lang siya, upon
declaration may 15% may income on the part of the stockholder meaning may
additional profit. TAXABLE
NOTE: Always take note kung may additional profit on the part of the taxpayer,
kung may additional profit or income then TAXABLE sya except provided by law,
special law, rules or under NIRC.

b. When it is received by a usufructuary (Skipped)

Stock dividends cannot be issued to a person who is not a stockholder in

payment for services rendered. Stock dividends can be issued only to
stockholders and not to strangers or non-stockholders
 c. Board of Directors declared dividend not in accordance with the
Corporation Code of the Philippines.

d. Redemption or cancellation of the Stock dividend distributed. Reason:

Resorting to devious means to circumvent the law and evade the tax.

e. Disguised dividends

II. FINAL TAX FROM DOMESTIC CORPORATION

10 % - RESIDENT CORPORATION, NON RESIDENT CORPORATION,
RESIDENT ALIEN
15 % - NON RESIDENT FOREIGN CORPORATION (W/ RECIPROCITY)
20 % - NON RESIDENT ALIEN ENGAGED IN TRADE OR BUSINESS
25 % - NON RESIDENT ALIEN NOT ENGAGED IN TRADE OR BUSINESS
30 % - NON RESIDENT FOREIGN CORPORATION W/O RECIPROCITY

NOTE:

DIVIDENDS RECEIVED BY A RESIDENT FOREIGN CORPORATION FROM DOMESTIC

CORPORATION EXEMPT

DIVIDENDS RECEIVED BY A DOMESTIC CORPORATION FROM A FOREIGN

CORPORATION ARE SUBJECT TO CORPORATE TAX

Under Reciprocity: When one country gives country to other person which are foreign
country, the other country must also give same exemption

Example case of Pacquiao : Pacquiao earn income from boxing and under US law he is
subject to an income tax.

Resident Citizen All income derived within and without the Philippines.

300,000 TAX DUE. May binayaran na siya sa US. Pwede niya ng iclaim as Tax Credit. For
example binayaran mo 50,000. Ang babayaran niya nalang is 250,000.

GPP Practice of Profession not considered as Corporation which is Taxable
Magbabayad parin in the form yung mismong partners ay magdedeclared ng
income nila as income so kung ano ang dinistribute ng GPP. It is called Dividend
Income.
For example: 100,000 naiwan to be distributed to A and B tig 50,000. Kung
may common fund ay ipapasok mo lahat items subject to normal tax and add it
to get total taxable income. Kung si A nakatanggap ng 50,000 ilalagay niya sa

OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME (March 12, 2016)

1. BAD DEBTS Definition: A portion of account receivable of a company which is already
unrecoverable or worthless.
Requisites for Recovery of Bad Debts:

CUBAN

C- Charged of or written of against the books of the tax payer

U The amount written off must be uncollectible in the near future, no slim chance of recovery collecting such
an amount.

B- It must arise from business trade / profession

A- Ascertain to be worthless

N- Not arising from transactions between related taxpayers.

ILLUSTRATION:

Example: Nestle Philippines as the seller we have Tax Payer A a sari sari store owner as the Buyer.

Nestle Philippines Seller (TAXPAYER A) Sari-Sari Store Owner A Buyer

SCENARIO: Nestle nagbenta siya ng grocery kay A worth Php100,000 upon the selling of the Goods, the
seller must declare the goods as the Sale which is subject to Tax. However, these goods were sold on
CREDIT, under the books of the Seller, irerecognize niya as account receivable or PAUTANG or
Collectible the amount of 100,000 from A assuming it is done on 2012.

On 2013, hindi niya na malocate si A. Now anong mangyayari sa Pautang? It is deemed paid off on the
part of the Seller since hindi niya na makolekta on the year 2012 which is subjected to the corporate tax.
As a claim for deduction the amount of 100k shall be recognized as BAD DEBTS. Kung merong masamang
utang ang isang buyer ang gagawin ng seller is to 1.) Charged off or written off against the books of the
Tax Payer which is tatanggalin niya na yung utang ni Buyer.

For the year 2013, Nestle reported sales of Php50,000 from the other buyer , sabi natin pwede siyang
mag claim ng worthless account na Php 100,000. In effect yung taxable income niya naging wala na kasi
dun sa worthless account.

If hindi niya clinaim yung recovery sa Bad debts magbabayad sana siya ng 50,000 subject to 30%
(Corporate Tax) . Yung clinaim niya yung Bad Debts natanggal na yung babayaran mo.
 Pano naman siya nagiging income? Nag abroad kasi. Upon recovery of the bad debts, theres a
deemed income on the part of tax payer. However may condition yun , up to the extent of the tax
benefit or principle of tax benefit or Recapture Rule.

Meaning of UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE TAX BENEFIT

On the year 2016, si Nestle nag report ng income amounting to Php 100,000 and then narecover niya
yung na write off niya or charged off dati na utang ni Buyer kaya idadag niya as an ITEM OF GROSS
INCOME so iadd niya as item of gross income yung bad debts recovered amounting to 100k . Doon na
papasok yung tax benefit rule. Magkano ba yung nabenefit ng tax payer dito? Only the amount of 50k
kasi eto lang yung inabsorb niya. Etong 50k lang ang inabsorb niya nag karoon ng benefit ng tax payer.
Kaya ang iclaclaim niya dito ay only 50k

. At the year of the claim of Bad Debts, magkano dapat ang due mo? 15k sana. 50,000 x 30% (Corporate
Tax) = 15,000. Pero mag kano sana yung actually na binayaran mo = 0. Kasi recovery of bad debts.
Magkano yung benefit mo 15,000/tax rate. Yun lang yung extent na pwede mong iclaim.

2012
NESTLE PHILIPPINES
Hindi na malocate si Tax Payer A
(SELLER) sold Php
100,000 grocery to Hindi niya na macocollecta yung utang ni A kasi nga nag
A- (Sari-Sari Store) abroad siya ma write off na ito at considered as BAD
DEBTS.
b
2013
2016
Php50,000 na collect niya from Narecover niya yung 100,000 na bad debts
other sales. niya or yung utang na 100k from 2012.
Dahil may 100k siyang Bad Ngayon iadd mo yung Tax Benefit mo nuong
Debts, ang magiging TAX DUE 2013 na 15,000. (50,000 x 30% = 15,000
niya ay 0. benefited.

SO ANG GROSS INCOME MO AY 115,000.

PRINCIPLE OF TAX BENEFIT RULE KNOWN AS RECAPTURE RULE
