Just wish to add another point. Some authorities are advocating in favor of Senior
Citizens as additional dependents by virtue of the amendments of the Senior
Citizens Act but this is a minority view so that the common treatment is they are not
entitled. Dependent child is what Vic quoted above and since senior citizens can
never be a child ofthe taxpayer caring them, though sometimes they get back to
beinga child, they are not entitled the P25k a year additional personal exemptions.June 22,2011 2t 5:07 pm (https://ousinesstins phyhowto-compute-withhalding-taxom-

Ifa foreign company in Europe hired you on a fixed-term contract as a consultant to

all so paperwork is faster, how would you be taxed considering that 100% of your
time you travel abroad and directly reports to your counterparts in Europe?
Will you be taxed 10% or maybe 15% or the regular 29-32%? More so, if you are
getting an amount set in your job offer every 6 months directly from the office in
Denmark asa reward for your efforts, how will that be taxed?
If your salary is invoiced by the local sales company to the head office in Europe as
an expense, are you to be taxed full? Aren't you an employee then of the foreign
‘company though your contract was put locally for convenience?
If for the past 2 years, the former finance manager has been imposing a 10% taxon
you and suddenly on the end of the 2 year period, a new finance manager arrives
and taxes you 29% instead, wll that be correct?
If the amount you usually get from headoffice as a form of goodwill or reward is
given to you in full for the past 2 years, isit reasonable to tax in full 29% due to the
arrival ofthe new finance manager? Please kindly assist. Thank you.HiSon,
‘Seems you are have along list of clarifications. Please find my views to your
concerns beside your question.
Ifa foreign company in Europe hired you on a fixed-term contract as a consultant to
do job but put your contract in their local sales company which is not doing IT at
all so paperwork is faster, how would you be taxed considering that 100% of your
time you travel abroad and directly reports to your counterparts in Europe?
‘Ans. The tax would depend on where you do the IT work, how long have you been
‘out ofthe Philippines to do the work, and if the local company shoulders said
expenses. Ifthe works done abroad and you stayed there more than 183 days, then
the sameis not taxable inthe Philippines because you shall be considered a non-
resident citizen taxable only on income within the Philippines and said income is an
income outside of the Philippines for being the work being done abroad. Ifthe local
‘company shoulders said expenses, then, there has to be a tax Treaty relief with the
BIR ITAD, or a ruling from BIR-Law Division, otherwise, the BIR will look at it as
taxable, On the contrary, you are taxable in the country based on tax table with
rates 5% to 32% depending on your tax bracket. No VAT shall be imposed on,
services performed abroad.
Will you be taxed 10% or maybe 15% or the regular 29-32%? Ans, 5-32% tax table
applies because you are not an employee of an RHQ.
More so, if you are getting an amount setin your job offer every 6 months directly
from the office in Denmark as a reward for your efforts, how will that be taxed? Ans.
‘Same taxable implications as said above, the manner and frequency of payment isIt your salary is invoiced by the local sales company to the head office in Europe as
‘an expense, are you to be taxed full? Aren't you an employee then of the foreign
‘company though your contract was put locally for convenience? Ans. Same tax.
implications as above, who shoulders you fee is not material
If for the past 2 years, the former finance manager has been imposing a 10% taxon
you and suddenly on the end of the 2 year period, a new finance manager arrives
and taxes you 29% instead, will that be correct?
‘Ans. The new Finance Manager maybe correct at one point or maybe wrong at
another point. think, the 10%is only a creditable withholding tax that is withheld
by the old Finance Manager which means that you should have been filing TR based
(on 5-32% tax tableif you are taxable. f you are not subject to income tax in the
Philippines as discussed above, then, both of them are incorrect:
If the amount you usually get from headoffice as a form of goodwill or reward is

‘Thank you for your very useful answer. My question now is that you mention that if
‘an employee has worked for 183 days abroad, he should not be taxed, is this 183
days need to be consecutive or justa total of series of foreign trips?

under the bracket appropriate for you ~ Monthly, ME1. P25,000 is the
additional personal exemption of every qualified dependent child and up to four
(4) children.
Withholding tax on compensation applies every payday and could not be
‘cumulative. | will not ike iti lam the employee because Iwill receive more on
carly paydays but will be surprised to receive a very minimal amount because
all withholding taxes for several months.
