Below are the basic things to consider in computing income tax.
- Basic Salary of
employee
- Employee Status
- How many dependent does employee have
- Your benefits deduction such as (SSS, PAGIBIG, and PHILHEALTH contributions)
- Does employee have any allowance or benefits
- BIR Tax Table
In order to understand this, let set an example. Elmer has
the following information below:
Basic Salary = Php 14,000.00
Status = Single or S/ME
Overtime Pay = Php 1,500.00
SSS Contribution = Php 508.70
PAGIBIG Contribution = Php 100.00
PHILHEALTH Contribution = Php 175.00
Problem: Compute
its monthly taxable income?
Solution:
Taxable Income = (Basic
Pay + Holiday Pay + Overtime + Night Differential) – (Absences + Tardiness +
SSS + PAGIBIG + PHILHEALTH contribution)
Taxable income = [(14,000+1,500) – (508.70+100+175)]
=
15,500 – 783.7
=
Php 14,716.30
So, Elmer taxable income is amounting 14,716.30. Next thing
you do is to refer to the BIR tax table
In the above example our taxpayer is a single with no
qualified dependent. Therefore, Elmer tax for the month is 708.33 + 20% over.
Now, Lets compute the income tax of Mr. Elmer
TAX = 708.33 + 20% (14,716.30 – 10,000)
=
708.33 + 20% (4,716.30)
=
708.33 + 943.26
=
1,651.59
Elmer income tax in a month would
be amounting to Php 1,651.59.
Note: Employee with minimum wage earners: as defined in Section 22(HH) of BIR tax Code shall be exempt from the payment of income tax on their taxable income: provided, further, that the overtime pay, holiday pay, night differential pay and hazard pay received by such minimum wage earners shall likewise be exempt from income tax.
