After a successful visit and registration process with the BIR, the next step is to identify the kinds of taxes youll be paying and
how to compute for them.
If you already have an accountant in mind who can take care of your taxes, thats great. But if youd still like to know where a
percentage of your professional fees are going to, continue reading this post.
There are three major kinds of taxes that a Pinoy freelancer must le and pay: the annual registration fee, income tax, and business
tax. To make things easy for you, lets tackle each one at a time.
2. Income Tax
Income tax is a percentage of our income paid to the BIR. Since we are registered as
professionals, we can declare how much our taxable income is by computing for our
gross income minus the allowable deductions.
According to the table on BIR form 1701 (Quarterly Income Tax Return for Self-employed Individuals, Estates, and Trusts),
income tax for individuals is between 5% to 32%. Use the tax table on page 2 as your reference every time you compute for your
taxable income.
A freelancer can apply two types of allowable deductions to their gross income:
Optional Standard Deduction the professional applies a maximum of 40% deduction to their gross income. Doing so will
not require you to prepare an Account Information form/Financial Statement. Im guessing that this type of allowable
http://thefreelancepinoy.com/3kindsoftaxesforpinoyfreelancers/
1/28
7/21/2016
3KindsofTaxesforPinoyFreelancers
deduction is for professionals who dont have the time, patience, and energy to itemize their expenses.
Itemized Deduction all ordinary and necessary expenses made for your business are accepted as itemized deductions.
These expenses must be made during the taxable year and at a time when your business is operational.Some good
examples are transportation fees, postage fees, rental expenses, etc. The catch here though is that you need to provide
proof that you made these expenses in the form of receipts, vouchers, sales invoices, and bank statements.
You can hire a CPA to compute for your income taxes if you feel that this is too much for you to handle. Just remember that your
taxable income is gross income less your allowable deductions.
3. Business Taxes
The third and nal type of tax we freelancers are required to pay are business taxes. As explained by the BIR of cer who handled
my brie ng, the difference between the business tax and the income tax is that the former is applied to every transaction made
between you and your clients. The latter focuses only on your taxable income.
There are two types of business taxes:
Value Added Tax the infamous VAT is applied if your annual gross income is P1.5M and above per year. VAT is 12% of
every transaction.
Percentage/Non-VAT tax this is used if the tax payer is non-VAT registered and if his gross income is not more than
P1.5M per year. The percentage tax is a minimum of 3%.
The VAT or percentage tax is led using BIR form 2550M and 2551M.

Do you have an idea if we still have to go to that process if our source of income is online?
Ive tried talking to one of their representatives but they keep on telling me that I should have an invoice.
How could I provide an invoice for my offshore clients.
Hi Doe,
Stef G.
July 18, 2011 at 7:18 am
Well, I still believe we should make our freelance businesses legit by registering as
tax-paying individuals. Invoices are only being used for local clients though, so if
your clients arent from around you dont need to issue a physical invoice (unless
you wish to do so yourself).

that they have this Mixed Income Earner. If you still remember me, I am actually problematic because I
dont know which category I will fall. Few months from now, I will be working as a staff nurse in a
government hospital. From there, I will be classi ed as government employee. But, I am an Odesk
freelancer at the same time. Hence, I would like to declare my income since that would be bene cial for me
in the long run. But, I already have an existing BIR number due to the fact that I worked as a call center
agent in IBM (private employee). Hope I can nd a solution to this very soon!

possible that next week, after I have my accountant do the math and have it all on 1701 form will I have the

You can take a look at this article on how to le for your taxes at the BIR: Taxes for
Freelancers: How to File Your Taxes at the BIR
The only exemption I know for income in USD is the VAT. You can ask the BIR
of cer regarding the business and percentage taxes, just to be sure.
Income tax is paid every quarter. Its not advisable to pay and le your taxes too
early. The of cers at RDO 33 warned me about that, so I do my best to stick to the
usual schedule.
Hope this helps!

I dont really get this tax thingy for us freelancers. We pay for our internet connection which includes tax.
Ryan
April 27, 2012 at 1:50 pm
We pay for our electricity which also includes tax. I mean we dont need or even get any support from the
govt people. So why care paying tax if it will only get wasted on these people. They dont care about us they
only care for their own. Unless there is a really good reason
1. You get to le your ITR, a legal document, that can serve as proof that you are indeed an earning
individual.
2. It is every citizens obligation to pay taxes. It doesnt matter if you think that it is not being put to good
use, which unfortunately is most likely, but still the money collected in taxes keeps our country a oat,
although possibly not all of it.
3. It is the law.
Excellent.

as remittance. Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I just want to share with you some tips with regards to ling income tax return. This applies to any selfAaron Jeffrey
September 13, 2013 at 5:01 pm
employed individuals, whether those working online as freelancers or those who actually have brick and
mortar businesses. There are several important things to bear in mind that will help save a lot in taxes.
First, self-employed individuals play two roles for the business, the rst being the business owner, and
second being an EMPLOYEE of the business. Being an employee, the self-employed individual is entitled to
all the bene ts of any regular employee, including a xed monthly salary, thirteenth month pay, allowances,
etc. Second, minimum wage earners are not required to pay taxes, meaning if you pay a minimum salary to
yourself, you will not be required to pay taxes on that salary, and the total amount of your salary and
thirteenth month pay as well as SSS/PHIC/Philhealth contributions will help lower the income of the
business, which, in return, will help you avoid paying too much on taxes, and if you know how to play it well,
you will not even have to pay a single centavo on income taxes.
Heres how you do things:
1. Register as a business, since you are a self-employed individual
2. If you earn in foreign currency, such as when your clients are coming from outside the Philippines, opt for
VAT registration, otherwise you will be required to pay 3% out of all your earnings. VAT registered
businesses are exempt to pay VAT on earnings in foreign currency
3. When preparing income tax, ll up both forms 2316 and 1701. The 2316 is what you will use to declare
your earnings as an employee of the business, this is where you will put the minimum salary and other
bene ts you receive from your business. The 1701 is what you will use to declare income/loss for the
business. There is a section on the 1701 where you will need to put the salary you received from the
business, as indicated in the form 2316. This should be the income that is exempt from tax. If you are
married, you can claim for an additional exemption of 50 K and 25K for each child you have. it is probably a
good reason to get married and have children :). If you are lucky, you can actually even add some cost of
sales to the income statement and that will help reduce the bottom line. Also, if you are a freelancer like
me, you would most of the time opt for the optional 40% deduction for the business expenses, rather than
http://thefreelancepinoy.com/3kindsoftaxesforpinoyfreelancers/
15/28
7/21/2016
3KindsofTaxesforPinoyFreelancers
an itemized deduction. If you are in Metro Manila, you can declare a monthly revenue of close to 40K
without even having to pay anything in business and personal tax. Those in other areas with lower daily
minimum rate can declare a monthly revenue close to 30K a month and be not required to pay anything in
taxes.
I hope this lengthy comment helped you.

As per BIR policy, if youre selling purely services, of cial receipts are issued to
clients, not invoices. But you may bill your client. If you are non-VAT registered,
Francis
If your VAT-registered services go a foreign or non-local client and you are paid in
foreign or non-Philippine currency, you may claim zero-rated VAT. But such
transactions must be accounted for in accordance with central bank regulations
which I think means such transactions must be supported by bank certi cates of
inward remittance.

for me. He asked me to pay 100 pesos per booklet. He also told me that they cant issue booklets less than
10. He asked me to pay 1000pesos for 10 booklets. Did you have the same case? They told me to come
back after two weeks, I did not pay yet. They told me to pay after claiming the booklets.
Im working as a freelance online tutor so I really dont need the receipts but the BIR of cer told me its for
compliance.
Can you tell me how much did you pay and how many booklets did you get? How long did it take them to

Can anyone share their experience with third party printers? Is it a hassle to opt

BMBE is a law that is intended for any business that has an asset of not less than 3M. The advantage is that
it the registered one will be exempted from income tax. I just read it on this link
http://www.nanaynotebook.com/2013/01/the-bmbe-in-real-life.html.
I think your RDO is considerate enough for you to not submit requirements such as municipality permit
and / or DTI registration. Other RDOs insist that those are required. Well, you know how challenging to get
business permit especially for those who are working at home.
