Any lawyer here interested in taking the case? I'm from Las Pinas City. PM me so that we can discuss the arrangement. Thanks!

Who Are The Individuals Required To File Income Tax Returns:

 

* Resident citizens receiving income from sources within or outside the Philippines

 

- individuals deriving compensation income from 2 or more employers, concurrently or successively at anytime during the taxable year

 

- employees deriving compensation income regardless of the amount, whether from a single or several employers during the calendar year, the income tax of which has not been withheld correctly (i.e. tax due is not equal to the tax withheld) resulting to collectible or refundable return

 

- employees whose monthly gross compensation income does not exceed P5,000 or the statutory minimum wage, whichever is higher, and opted for non-withholding of tax on said income

 

- individuals deriving other non-business, non-professional related income in addition to compensation income not otherwise subject to a final tax

 

- individuals receiving purely compensation income from a single employer, although the income of which has been correctly withheld, but whose spouse is not entitled to substituted filing

 

kung wala siya dito, di siya kailangan magfile ng ITR. Note that for the exception that you mention (yung mababa lang ang sweldo), ang tinitingnan hindi kung magkano ang kinita mo buong taon kundi ang "monthly income" mo. kung ito ay P5,000 or less in a month or below the statutory minimum wage in a month, di na niya kailangan magfile ng ITR.

 

kung malaman ng BIR na di siya nagfile, nasa BIR kung ano ang ifa-file nila (kung meron man) laban sa kaibigan mo. kaya nga sabi ko PWEDENG tax evasion ang kaso (kasi nga iligal ang di pagfile ng ITR at ang tax evasion ay iligal na pamamaraan na pagpababa ng bayaring buwis), maari din naman na ang habulin lang nila ay ang non-filing of ITR (sa dami din naman ng taxpayer, baka nga di na mapansin yan).

 

 

Tigas naman nila kung patulan pa nila yun 10k pababa ang kinikita ang daming ang lalaking buwaya yun unahin nila at sa totoo lang kulang na kulang ang information drive nila to inform the public on how to pay their taxes...

Employment concern po ito..

 

My sister was working from a Pakistani owned Company, recenty, she lost a substancial amount of personal money and the issue reached their top management. Without any investigation, my sister was fired as the management was told by someone that my sister is accusing a Pakistani as the culprit.

 

My sister told us that the management was forcing her to sign a resignation letter but she refused to sign because she did not resign her post, also, she was only offered a mere 10k amount as a separation pay since she stayed for only two years in that company.

 

Was the procedure correct? We are planning to escalate the matter to DOLE, as my sister is currently pregnant and there was no basis for firing my sister.

 

Is there any other measure we can do?

 

I would appreciate your assistance to my inquiry.

[TeeUp]

Hi all,

 

I'll address US Immigration, Real Estate and Bankruptcy Laws here or through PM.

[rocco69]

kung wala naman siyang kasalanan, di lang procedure ang mali, yung termination niya mismo ang mali.

 

Note: procedure for termination requires two notices to be given to the employee: 1st notice - to explain why he should not be terminated; and 2nd notice - notice that he is terminated. but the more impt. thing is that there must be a ground for termination, kung walang basehan ang termination, di ito tama.

 

Also, you do not bring this to DOLE, but to the NLRC.

 

Parang pagrereklamo lang sa NLRC ang option na available sa yo ngayon. You can bring it to the media if you want though.

maraming maraming salamat po. :thumbsupsmiley:

[Spank_me_then]

paano po pag may pinapaalis kaming tenant na di nagbabayad ng renta? Pero ayaw naman ng barangay kapitan mag issue ng CTA, dahil meron na daw kaming kasunduan sa Lupon.

 

Di naman tinutupad ng tenant ang kasunduan namin. Ano po pwedeng gawin? Salamat!

I want to inquire on the taxing powers of the municipality. A provision found in the Local Government Code (143) states that exporters are subject to 1/2 of the normal rate for business taxes. But in the Quezon City Revenue Code, they have removed this provision to increase their revenue. I even confirmed this with the City Treasurer, he said that it is not applicable even if the said reduced rates were being extended in other municipalities like Makati and Manila. Thanks in advance.

[rocco69]

ayun sa Local Government Code, ang kasunduan nyo ay kasing-bisa ng desisyon ng korte. Ayon sa Sec. 416:

 

SEC. 416. Effect of Amicable Settlement and Arbitration Award. - The amicable settlement and arbitration award shall have the force and effect of a final judgment of a court upon the expiration of ten (10) days from the date thereof, unless repudiation of the settlement has been made or a petition to nullify the award has been filed before the proper city or municipal court. xxx xxx xxx

 

at ayun na rin sa Sec. 417, trabaho ng barangay na ipatupad ang kasunduan nyo.

 

SEC. 417. Execution. - The amicable settlement or arbitration award may be enforced by execution by the lupon within six (6) months from the date of the settlement. After the lapse of such time, the settlement may be enforced by action in the appropriate city or municipal court.

 

therefore, dapat hilingin mo sa barangay na ipatupad ang kasunduan nyo kung hind ito sinusunod ng tenant nyo.

how can they remove something from the LGU Code?

only congress/senate can amend an existing law.

I just want to inquire about a case of my mother who's working in Italy, nagdecide sya bumili ng bahay sa tagaytay area, yun broker is from Italy that time at un developer ay dito sa Manila. After several documentation, she decided to have a cash downpayment for the house and lot para mapabilis un bahay kasi uuwi sya ng pilipinas, this happened in Dec 2007. Sa Italy kasi, dami dun remittance center na pinagpapadalhan ng mga OFW para dito sa Pilipinas. What went wrong is that, nun time na magdeposit un mother ko ng DP, dun nya pinadala sa remittance center na kilala ng broker, pinareceive nya dun sa operations manager amounting to P550,000 plus kung iconvert sa Philippine money, with the broker as witness. Then umuwi un mother ko sa Pilipinas nun Dec 2007 after nya madeposit un pera. Unfortunately, habang andito sya sa Pilipinas, un developer dito is asking asan na un DP..ang sabi namin pinadala na namin, wala pa raw sila natatnaggap..after 2 months bumalik na sya ng Italy at nalaman nya na hindi pala niremit nun operations manager un pera at ginastos sa kanilang operation expenses...ang nalaman pa namin ay biglang tinanggal ng may ari ng remittance center un manager na pareho din Pilipino, at tinatanggi nya na wala silang nareceive na ganun amount...kumuha un mother ko ng lawyer dun at after several months of talks, napagkasunduan na lang na mgbabayad un remittance agency ng installment basis..first month is ok, pero habang the rest puro lang pangako according to the lawyer...Ang ginawa ng mother ko dinala nila sa court un case pero di nagprogress kasi me batas ang Italy na certain amount lang ang pwede dinggin ang kaso, i think 10,000 euro's up...kaya hangga ngaun wala pa rin kaming nakukuhang payment galing sa may ari ng remittance center..Tanong ko lang po, pwede ba natin kasuhan ng estafa un may ari ng remittance center dito sa Pilipinas, kasi isa naman siyang Pilipino. Until now, we are hardly get back the amount from them, pati un monthly payment namin dun sa bahay na pinapagawa namin ay nahinto. This is a hard eard money..Ano po kaya ang dapat namin gawin..please advise.

[rocco69]

1. pwede ba natin kasuhan ng estafa un may ari ng remittance center dito sa Pilipinas, kasi isa naman siyang Pilipino.

 

unfortunately, no. sa batas kasi natin, kung saan ginawa yung krimen, dun dapat isampa. dahil sa Italy kinuha at ginastos ang pera, dun isasampa yung criminal case.

 

civil case, baka pwede dito. kaya lang, kailangan may ari-arian siya rito na mahahatak ninyo, otherwise, nagsasayang lang kayo ng pera kung wala din naman kayong makukuhang ipambabayad sa daños na maaring makuha nyo.

 

mas maige, i-follow-up ng mother mo yung kaso sa Italy
