BIR Concerns

[mr.automan]

eto ang joke para sa topic na ito..

 

Foreigner: It's hard to do business

here in Philippines.

Every move and every one has a FEE

Barangay permit FEE

Mayor's FEE

Governor's FEE

Congressman FEE

BIR FEE

You have to change your system!

Maybe you call your nation "FEE lippines"

Call yourselves "FEE lipinos"

and change your President's name as well

as "FEE noy"

What you think?

laughter is the best medicine diba?

True!!

Is it normal for a company to collect 10%, supposedly as tax every payday even if they have an agreement with the employee that the company and the employee have no employee-employer relationship? They just treat their employees as Service Providers and they ask them to sign the BIR Form 2307. Is that legal?

You can try this LINK.

 

I suppose you already have the checklist on how to enroll in eBIRForms through on-line.

ang hirap talaga sa bir ngayon. online nga pero ang bagal naman

[glut_func]

^wala yan sa bilis ng computer na gamit mo, nasa traffic load yan ng servers nila kasi madaming gumagamit pag normal working hours lalo ngayon palapit na deadline.

 

Sa mga nahihirapan on accessing efps online, try accessing the website mga after 5pm. Ganyan din ako these last few days pag sinusubukan ko mag online during working hours, kahit anong browser gamit ko tinotopak pa rin yung site pero nung sinubukan ko mga bandang 6pm onwards naging smooth naman, medyo natagalan lang sa minor setbacks pero I was able to finish filing at around 9pm with minimal lags.

Marami nga nagrereklamo ngayon sa efiling.

[glut_func]

^matagal na pong pinatupad ng BIR ang efiling, sa pagkakasabi sa kin as early as 2009 nag announce na ang BIR about it lalo na dun sa pag sign up ng account for the efps. Ngayon lang naghigpit. Ang hirap kasi sa iba, gusto pa talaga photo-finish sa pag file kaya nainis na rin ang BIR kaya hindi ko sila masisi kung maghigpit sila ng ganito.

 

Buti nga naawa pa sila at kahit papano inextend ang deadline until end of april.

this is called consultancy contract.... yes, it is accepted.

[you101]

Basically you need to accomplish the BIR Form No. 1701 (since i assume in lieu of your profession yung service na nirerender mo sa company). Make sure you have secured also a copy of BIR Form 2307 from your client, if any. otherwise, yung reason for not withholding.

 

and lastly.. if i may ask sir, how much yung range nung payment sayo nung company?

 

 

What's the proper withholding tax if consulting ung contract? I have encountered some companies offering 2% and 10% withholding. What's the difference? Would like to know in case I would accept such offers in the future.

 

also, is it correct na it's not just withholding ang tax? I still need to file with bir? anu anu taxes pa un? also I encountered some coworkers na in consulting arrangement, collecting receipts and said they would be filed as expenses so lumiit and tax. panu un?

 

is this something doable by an individual or would need an accountant for filing?
