BIR Concerns

[Mandrake]

Well, if your business will be a sole proprietorship, you need to register 1st at the DTI however if it is a corporation or a partnership, you need to register with the SEC, then you can proceed registering with local government then to the BIR..

 

It will take us around 20 pages   to discuss the whole procedure... pm me if you want to discuss it further... dont' worry free of charges :hypocritesmiley:

Mate, in selling real estate property how do u compute for E-VAT and Capital Gains Tax? Thanks...

[transcience]

whenever we file our itr's every year, we have to secure a residence certificate, right? the amount we pay varies on our gross taxable income. effectively, the gross taxable income is taxed the second time around which is so unfair!

 

the phils is one of the heavily taxed countries in asia. my counterparts in singapore, hk, etc are paying less than 10% income tax. poor little me pays 3 times as much. again, so unfair!

[jeckyl]

The Philippines may have one of the highest tax rates in Asia, but, the least effective tax in terms of tax to GDP ratio. Marami lang di nagbabayad ng tamang tax kaya yung mga madaling patawan ng buwis katulad ng mga de sueldo ay silang ang umaatang ng mabigat na buwis.

 

Bakit ba dito nagpupuntahan ang maraming intsik para magnegosyo? Kasi konti lang bayad nilang buwis.

 

Tax on sale of real estate will depend on the business of the seller and the character of the property. Kung realtor ang seller malaming di capital gains ang bayad nya kundi regular income tax at subject sa VAT. Pag one time sale lang ng sariling bahay at lupa, malamang capital gains tax at walang VAT.

Mate sensya na at nayon ko lang nakita ito..

 

In selling real estate, such is subject to capital gains tax of 6%, VAT of 12% and DST of normally P15 for P1000. The base amount would be the zonal value or market value or selling price whichever is higher...

i'm not sure if there is a thread about tax concerns (i looked and there seems to be none),

so i am opening this one.  i hope there are members who either work for BIR or there

are finance people who are experts about the much controversial topic of taxes.

 

it's always in the news... vat, wht, e-vat, entertainment tax and all.  once in awhile,

BIR comes out with news articles in the dailies explaining lengthily what these taxes are.

i personally wish the explanation is brought down to simple words that can be understood

by the common people.  what are these taxes for?  why does the rates keep on moving up?

more importantly, how do we compute these taxes?  before, vat was computed as 10%

of the total amount.  is it still the same?  what about the entertainment tax?  the people from

television and movies pay wht and entertainment tax? 

 

i am opening this thread hoping that some good souls there can shed light to simple

tax questions that we have. 

 

thanks.

What kind of explanation are you looking for? Taxes are taxes, people expect the government to spend for this and that and that money has to come from somewhere, other than simply printing more money (which the government does, by the way). The e-vat was conceived as a better way to collect taxes that come from the sale of goods and services. Vat is an acronym for value added tax while the E stands for expanded. Initially only certain goods and services were subject to VAT but legislation expanded this to other goods and services not previously covered so they attached the word "expanded". The law provided for 10% EVAT but there was a provision that permitted the president to raise it to 12% the next year if certain conditions were met and which indeed occurred so the EVAT is now 12%. Entertainment tax is a specific tax, which means that a certain rate and only certain things are subject to this tax. I really don't know what you mean by people from television and movies but if they derive income, then they are subject to income tax. Hard to discuss this because I simply don't know where to start. When I studied law, taxation was a 5-unit course and at the end the only things I remembered were the concepts.

Ask lang po ako regarding taxation. What if i registered our company already (SEC and DTI only, wla business permit, and bir). for months it was nearly non-existent, then all of a sudden nagkaroon po ako ng client. it went too fast. in two weeks, we had a deal and na-execute po ang services.

 

Come payment time, wala na po ako mapakita recepit. would it be valid if after na ng transactions ako makakuha ng business permit at BIR?

 

Things were so quick - overlooking on the permits, or a business merely inactive.

 

What should we do? Thanks po. Can we still have business permits and BIR registration, so we can also pay the company's dues.

 

Service oriented ang company.

Yes you can still register your company with the BIR and local government... however, you might be subjected to penalty such as late registration..

Nope it is still 6%..
