REVENUE REGULATIONS
NO. 2-2010
Amendment to Sections 6 and 7
of Revenue Regulations No. 162008 with Respect to the
Determination of the Optional
Standard Deduction (OSD) of
General Professional Partnerships
(GPPs) and the Partners Thereof,
As Well as the Manner and Period
for
Making
the
Election
to
Claim
atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

If the GPP availed of the itemized deduction in


computing its net income, the partners may still
claim itemized deductions from said share,
provided, that, in claiming itemized deductions,
the partner is precluded from claiming the same
expenses already claimed by the GPP. If the
GPP claimed itemized deductions the partners
comprising it can only claim itemized
deductions which are in the nature of ordinary
and necessary expenses for the practice of
profession which were not claimed by the GPP
in computing its ne income or distributable net
income during the year.

atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

Examples
of
these
are
representation expenses incurred by
the partner where the covering invoice
of receipt is issued in his name;
travelling expenses while away from
hone, which were not liquidated by the
partnership; depreciation of a car used
in the practice of profession where said
car is registered in the name of the
partner and similar expenses.
atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

Hence, if the GPP availed of itemized


deductions, the partners are not allowed
to claim the OSD from their share in the
net income because the OSD is a proxy
for all the items of deductions allowed in
arriving at taxable income.
If the GPP avails of OSD in computing its
net income, the partners comprising it can
no longer claim further deduction from
their share in the said net income.
atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

If the partner also derives other gross


income from trade, business or practice of
profession apart and distinct from his share
in the net income of the GPP, the
deduction that he can claim from his other
gross income would follow the same
deduction availed of from his partnership
income as explained in the foregoing rules.
Provided, however, that if the GPP opts for
the OSD, the individual partner may still
claim 40% of its gross income from trade,
business or practice of profession but not
to include his share from the net
income of the GPP.

atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

II.
OPTIONAL STANDARD DEDUCTION (OSD)

the taxpayer must signifies in his return his


intention to elect Optional Standard Deduction,
OTHERWISE, he shall be considered as having
availed of the Itemized Deductions.

The election of OSD is irrevocable for


the taxable year for which the choice is
made.

atty. cleo d. sabado-andrada, cpa, mba

The election to claim either the OSD or the


itemized deduction for the taxable year must
be signified by checking the appropriate box
in the income tax return filed for the first
quarter of the taxable year adopted by the
taxpayer. Once the election is made, the
same type of deduction must be consistently
applied for all the succeeding quarterly
returns and in the final income tax return for
the taxable year.
Any taxpayer who is
required but fails to file the quarterly income
tax return for the first quarter shall be
considered as having availed of the itemized
deductions option for the taxable year.

Recognized when

Cash basis tax payers include


income when it is received,
and claim deductions when
expenses are paid. A cash
basis taxpayer can look to the
doctrine of constructive receipt
and
the
doctrine of cash equivalence to
help determine when income is
received.

Two (2) Accounting Methods


in the recognition of expenses

Accrual

taxpayers
include items when they

deductions when expenses

test to determine when
income is earned.

Two (2) Accounting Methods

taxpayer
generally
must
include
income "for the taxable

have occurred that fix the
right to receive income and
the amount of the income
can be determined with
reasonable accuracy."

Two (2) Accounting Methods


in the recognition of expenses

Under the "earlier-of test",


an accrual basis taxpayer
receives income when:
(1) the required performance
occurs,
(2) payment therefore is due,
or;
(3) payment therefore is
made, whichever happens
earliest.
