Form No. _____.) casia (b) Final withholding tax on time deposits The final withholding tax on time deposits shall be based on the adjusted gross interest paid or accrued by authorized agent banks on all time deposits as computed in the manner described below . The adjusted gross interest paid or accrued is arrived at after deducting from the total interest on time deposits paid or accrued, the sum of (1) all interest paid or accrued on time deposits maintained in foreign currency; (2) all interest paid or accrued on time deposits maintained by tax-exempt entities; and (3) all interest paid or accrued on all time deposit accounts maintained by an individual depositor alone or together with another in any one bank at any time not exceeding Eight Hundred (P800.00) Pesos per calendar year or Two Hundred (P200.00) Pesos per quarter thereof.

Form No. _____).

The percentage tax shall be based on gross income, derived by dealers in securities or lending investors whether actually received or not. (e) Gross receipts tax on banks, non-bank financial intermediaries, financing companies, and other non-bank financial intermediaries not performing quasi-banking activities . The rates of taxes to be imposed on the gross receipts of such financial institutions shall be based on all items of income actually received. Mere accrual shall not be considered, but once payment is received on such accrual or in cases of prepayment, then the amount actually received shall be included in the tax base of such financial institutions, as provided hereunder: (1) Interest and other charges imposed on short-term maturity shall be subject to the normal gross receipts tax rate of five per centum (5%). (2) In the case of interest income on medium-term and long-term lending activities, the rate of the gross receipts tax that may be imposed shall be determined in accordance with the remaining maturity which shall be reckoned from installment period during the year (present period) up to maturity of the debt instrument. Example: If a loan agreement was signed by Bank A with Corporation B on January 2, 1974 payable in ten (10) equal annual installments with the last installment payable on January 2, 1984, then the loan agreement as of January 2, 1980 (present period) has a remaining maturity of four (4) years. (3) Payments received corresponding to installment due for the present period shall always be deemed as the last installment due on the loan agreement. Thus, in the example above, the installment received, in case payment is actually made on January 2, 1980, shall be considered as a transaction of a debt instrument with a remaining maturity of four (4) years in which case the rate of gross receipts tax to be imposed on any income derived therefrom shall be the rate of three per centum (3%) (over two years but not exceeding four years category of transaction). (4) Commissions and other fees as a general rule shall be taxed in the year actually received. However, if the loan agreement or financial leasing is considered as of medium to long-term maturity or if such loan agreement is discounted, then the corresponding commission and other fees and charges of such income arising from discounting may be taxed on the basis of the remaining life of the debt instrument. (5) For purposes of classifying loan agreement/debt instrument as to its proper category of transactions, i.e., short-term, medium-term and long-term, the term of the instrument reckoned from date of issue to its maturity shall be considered, and banks and non-bank financial intermediaries are hereby required to stamp across the face of the debt instrument the words. "This debt instrument is a term debt instrument subject to the preferential gross receipts tax rates on all copies of the said instrument." SECTION 5 . Pretermination . In case of pretermination, the maturity period shall be reckoned to end as of the date of pretermination for purposes of classifying the transaction as short, medium or long-term and applying the correct rate of tax. Any additional tax that may arise as a consequence of the reclassification of the transaction shall be considered as a deficiency tax subject to deficiency penalties prescribed in Section 13 of these regulations. Illustrations: Mr. A executed on November 10, 1980 a long-term loan from Bank B in the amount of P5,000.000 payable within ten (10) years with the first installment payable on or before November 10, 1981 and the succeeding installment on the same date thereafter. Assume that on November 10, 1985, the loan was preterminated and that the interest paid and other fees received from year 1980 up to 1985, amounting to P100,000 annually, were received and declared by Bank B correctly and the applicable gross receipts taxes were paid as follows: acd Year Remaining Amount of Applicable Gross receipt tax maturity interest, etc. tax rate 1981 9 P100,000 Exempt 1982 8 100,000 Exempt 1983 7 100,000 1% P1,000 1984 6 100,000 1% 1,000 1984 5 100,000 1% 1,000 Total Gross Receipts Tax P3,000 Applying the above, rule, the loan agreement shall be reclassified from a long-term exempt category of transaction (over seven years) to a medium-term loan (over four years but not exceeding seven years category of transaction) and the correct gross receipt tax, including prior years, shall be recomputed on the basis of the new category as shown hereunder: Year Remaining Amount of Applicable Gross receipt tax maturity interest, etc. tax rate 1981 4 P100,000 1% P3,000 1982 3 100,000 3% 3,000 1983 2 100,000 3% 3,000 1984 1 100,000 5% 5,000 1985 Less than 100,000 5% 5,000 1 year Total Gross Receipts Tax 19,000 Less: Gross Receipts Tax Previously paid 3,000 Deficiency Gross Receipts Tax 16,000 Add: 25 % surcharge 4,000 Interest from to Amount Still Due and Payable P20,000 ====== SECTION 6.
