Withholding tax is a type of tax that is collected by the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on certain types of income. This tax is collected at the source of the income, and the person or entity paying the income is responsible for withholding the tax and remitting it to the BIR.
There are several different types of withholding tax in the Philippines, including income tax withholding, expanded withholding tax, and value-added tax (VAT) withholding. The specific type of withholding tax that applies to your income will depend on the type of income you receive and your tax status.
Income tax withholding applies to certain types of income, such as salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions, and other compensation. The amount of income tax withheld will depend on your tax bracket and the amount of your income.
Expanded withholding tax applies to certain types of income, such as rent, royalties, and professional fees. The amount of expanded withholding tax withheld will depend on the amount of your income and the tax rate applicable to your income.
VAT withholding applies to certain types of income, such as services provided by VAT-registered individuals or entities. The amount of VAT withheld will depend on the amount of your income and the applicable VAT rate.
If you are required to withhold tax on your income, it is important to properly calculate and remit the tax to the BIR in a timely manner. Failure to do so can result in penalties and interest.
