13th month pay, bonuses below P30k are tax-exempt —BIR chief Henares

Internal Revenue chief Kim Henares on Thursday reminded government agencies and private firms that 13th month salaries, bonuses and benefits not exceeding P30,000 are exempted from tax.
On the other hand, any amount exceeding P30,000 would be subjected to tax.

Henares' reminder came at a time when companies are starting to hand out 13th month pay as well as holiday and year-end bonuses to their employees.

"For example kung sinuma mo lahat bonuses mo whatever you call it... kunwari total bonuses for the year is P40,000, P30,000 is exempted and P10k lang binubuwisan," Henares told reporters at the Department of Justice in Manila.

"Iyon lang ang nasa batas kaya iyon lang i-implement ng BIR," she added, saying that the tax rule should be implemented "across the board."

Henares emphasized that the rule on tax exemptions applies to all workers whether in the private or public sectors.

"So if you are in government, whether executive or legislative or judiciary branches... the rules are the same," Henares said.

The Revenue chief said companies and their accountants should be "conscious and mindful" of this tax exemption rules or risk being held criminally liable "for not withholding properly."

She also reminded income earners to indicate in their annual income tax returns details on their 13 month pay, bonuses, and benefits as well as the corresponding deductions if any.

Henares was earlier quoted as thumbing down a proposal made by Senate president pro-tempore Ralph Recto to raise the tax exemption for bonuses to P75,000 from the current P30,000.

Henares said Recto's proposal cannot be implemented unless there is a law that would determine an alternative source for the billions of pesos that the government stands to lose from implementing a higher tax exemption ceiling. KG, GMA News

Akala ko buong amount ng bonuses ang binubuwisan deductive pala ang 30k.... Ma check nga.

Ano! hindi mo alam? Ilan taon ka na ba? Ilan taon ka naba nagtratrabaho? Ilan taon ka na ba nagsalary nang more than 30k.

Hindi ka ba nagtataka kung bakit hindi buo ang 13th month mo versus sa sweldo mo. Baka naman below 30k ang sweldo mo.

hindi ka naman siguro nagsimula sa more than 30k kaagad.

ang alam ko greater than 30k taxable na. pero ung deductive ang 30k yan ang hindi ko alam sir. hindi ko naman kinukwenta sir ey.

[BratPAQ]

exactly my point, matagal na yan...saka bakit BIR sinisisi? sila ba gumawa ng batas? they're just implementing their mandate na utos ng batas...

habulin niyo mga congressmen and Senators.

Asa pa tayo sa mga Congressman, unahin muna nila tax exemption ni Pacquiao bago mamamayan.

hehehe. Gulo mo ah. Ang alam mo greater than 30k is taxable pero hindi mo alam na sa total salary deducted ang 30k then yun na ang taxable.

Pareho lang yang sinabi mo eh. Hay naku retz.

I also thought the same. Baka yung sweldo ni Retz e barya lang sa kanya kaya he is not aware of the taxes. Pang East Asia, Starbucks or J CO lang niya yan, or pang ho ho ho

Ang sinasabi ni Retz, hindi nya alam na yung excess of 30k lang ang nitataxan. Akala nya, once greater than 30k ka na, taxable buo yung amount.
