WITHHOLDING TAX ON COMPENSATION


WITHHOLDING TAX ON COMPENSATION

 Individuals earning compensation income should pay taxes to the government.


 The total compensation earned by an individual is calculated annually hence a person is
liable to pay for an annual tax on the earnings for the whole year.
 However individuals earn and/or paid of their salaries on a daily, weekly, semi-monthly or
monthly basis. These salaries when received by the employees are already net of taxes.
 These taxes are being withheld by their employers and these employers are the ones who
remit the taxes to the BIR. Individuals need not go to the BIR monthly to pay their taxes.
 The monthly taxes paid by the individual (through the employers) should equal with the
annual taxes when the total annual compensation is considered.
 If tax withheld is greater than annual tax due, there is tax refund.
 If tax withheld is lesser than annual tax sue, there is still tax payable.
