August 1, 1986 January 1, 1986 REVENUE REGULATIONS NO. 12-86 SUBJECT : A mending Pertinent Provisions of the Revenue Regulations 6-8 2, as Amended, Otherwise Known as the Withholding Tax Regulations on Compensation TO : All Internal Revenue Officers, Withholding Agents and Others Concerned SECTION 1 . Scope . Pursuant to Section 277 and 82 of the National Internal Revenue Code in relation to Executive Order No. 37 series of 1986, these regulations are hereby promulgated prescribing the collection at source of income tax on compensation income paid on or after January 1, 1986 under the Withholding Tax tables (ANNEX "A") which take into account the increase of personal exemption and the option of married individuals to compute separately their individual income tax based on their respective taxable income. SECTION 2 . Section 2 of the Revenue Regulations No. 6-82, as amended, is hereby further amended to read as follows: "Sec. 2. Definition of terms . As used herein, the following terms and phrases shall have the meaning hereunder indicated: 1. Taxable income on compensation . means gross compensation income as defined herein less the authorized deduction under Section 30(1) of the NIRC. 2. Gross compensation income . (a) In general . For purposes of withholding tax, the term "compensation" means all remuneration for services performed by an employee for his employer unless specifically excepted under Sections 29 and 90 of the National Internal Revenue Code. The name by which the remuneration for services is designated is immaterial. Thus salaries, wages, emoluments and honoraria, bonuses, allowances (such as transportation, representation, entertainment and the like), fringe benefits (monetary and non-monetary), fees, including directors fees, taxable pensions and retirement pay, and other income of a similar nature constitute compensation income. The basis upon which the remuneration is paid is immaterial in determining whether the remuneration constitutes a compensation. Thus it may be paid on the basis of piecework, or a percentage of profits; and may be paid hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. Compensation may be paid in money or in some medium other than money, as, for example, stocks, bonds, or other forms of property. If services are paid for in a medium other than money, the fair market value of the thing taken in payment is the amount to be included as compensation subject to withholding. If the services are rendered at a stipulated price, in the absence of evidence to the contrary such price will be presumed to be the fair market value of the remuneration received. If a corporation transfers to its employees its own stock as remuneration for services rendered by the employee, the amount of such remuneration is the fair market value of the stock at the time of the transfer. If a person receives as remuneration for services rendered a salary and in addition thereto living quarters or meals, the value to such person of the quarters and meals so furnished shall be added to the remuneration otherwise paid for the purpose of determining the amount of compensation subject to withholding. If, however, living quarters or meals are furnished to an employee to the convenience of the employer, the value thereof need not be included as compensation subject to withholding. cd Ordinarily, facilities or privileges (such as entertainment, medical services, or so-called "courtesy" discounts on purchases), furnished or offered by an employer to his employees generally, are not considered as compensation subject to withholding if such facilities or privileges are of relatively small value and are offered or furnished by the employer merely as a means of promoting health, goodwill, contentment, or efficiency of his employees. Where compensation is paid in property other than money, the employer shall make necessary arrangements to ensure that the amount of the tax required to be withheld is available for payment to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Tips or gratuities paid directly to an employee by a customer of an employer, and not accounted for by the employee to the employer, are not subject to withholding. Remuneration for services, unless such remuneration is specifically excepted by the statute, constitutes compensation even though at the time paid the relationship of employer and employee no longer exists between the person in whose employ the services are performed and the individual who performed them. (b) Pensions, retirement and separation pay . Pensions, retirement and separation pay constitutes a compensation subject to withholding, except the following: (1) Retirement benefits received by officials and employees of private firms under a reasonable private benefit plan maintained by the employer, if the following requirements are met: (i) The benefit plan must be approved by the Bureau of Internal Revenue; (ii) The retiring official or employee must have been in the service of the same employer for at least ten (10) years and is not less than fifty (50) years of age at the time of the retirement; and (iii) The retiring official or employee shall not have previously availed of the privilege under the retirement benefit plan of the same or another employer. (2) Any amount received by an official or employee or by his heirs from the employer as a consequence of separation of such official or employee from the service of the employer due to death, sickness, or other physical disability or for any other cause beyond the control of the said official or employee, such as retrenchment, redundancy and cessation of business. The phrase "for any cause beyond the control of the said official or employee" connotes involuntariness on the part of the official or employee. The separation from the service of the official or employee must not be asked for or initiated by him. aisa dc Whether or not the separation is beyond the control of the said official or employee shall be determined on the basis of prevailing facts and circumstances. This shall be duly established through competent evidence to be submitted by the employer which should be attached in his monthly return for the period in which the amount was paid due to involuntary separation. Any payment made by an employer to an employee on account of dismissal, that is, for causes other than those mentioned in paragraph b(2) hereof, constitutes compensation regardless of whether the employer is legally bound by contract, statute, or otherwise to make such payment. (3) Social security benefits, retirement gratuities, pensions and other similar benefits received by resident or non-resident citizen of the Philippines or aliens who come to reside permanently in the Philippines from foreign government agencies and other institutions, private or public. (4) Payment of benefits due to any person residing in the Philippines under the law of the United States administered by the United States Veterans Administration. (5) Payments of benefits made under the Social Security System Act of 1954, as amended. (6) Benefits received from the GSIS and the retirement gratuity received by government officials and employees. (c) I n general . Fixed or variable transportation, representation and other allowances which are received by any officer or employee, in addition to the regular compensation fixed for his position or office is compensation subject to withholding. Amounts received by an employee, either as advance or reimbursement for transportation, representation and other bona-fide ordinary and necessary expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the employee in the performance of his duties are not compensation subject to withholding. However, if the reimbursement exceeds the actual expenses, the excess if not returned to the employer, constitutes taxable income. Transportation and other reimbursed expenses must be identified either by making a separate payment or by specifically indicating the separate amounts where both compensation and expense allowances are combined in a single payment. (d) Vacation and sick leave allowances . Amounts received by an employee as "vacation allowances" or "sick leave credits" constitute compensation income. Thus, the salary of an employee on vacation, or on sick leave, paid notwithstanding his absence from work, constitutes taxable compensation income. (e) Deductions by employer from compensation of employee . Any amount which is required by law to be deducted by the employer from the compensation of an employee including tax is considered to be part of the employee's compensation and is deemed to have been constructively paid to the employee as compensation at the time the deduction is made. (f) Remuneration for services as employee of non-resident alien individual or foreign entity . The term "compensation" includes remuneration for services performed by a citizen or resident of the Philippines, as an employee of a non-resident alien individual, foreign partnership or foreign corporation, whether or not such employer is engaged in trade or business within the Philippines. Any person paying compensation on behalf of such an employer which is not engaged in trade or business within the Philippines is subject to all provisions of law and regulations applicable to an employer. (g) Compensation for services performed outside the Philippines . Remuneration received by a citizen for services performed outside the Philippines for a domestic foreign corporation or partnership, or for a non-resident foreign corporation or partnership, or for a non-resident individual not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines, the payment of which is made in the Philippines, is subject to withholding under Section 7(II) of Revenue Regulations 6-82, as amended. 3. Head of family . Means an unmarried or legally separated man or woman with one or both parents, or with one or more brothers or sisters, or with one or more legitimate, recognized natural, or legally adopted children living and dependent upon him for their chief support, where such brothers or sisters or children are not more than twenty-one (21) years of age, unmarried and not gainfully employed or where such children, brothers, or sisters, regardless of age are incapable of self-support because of mental or physical defect. 4. Dependent . means a legitimate, recognized natural or legally adopted child chiefly dependent upon and living with the taxpayer if such dependent is not more than twenty-one (21) years of age, unmarried and not gainfully employed or if such dependent, regardless of age, is incapable of self-support because of mental or physical defect. 3 . S ection 3 of Revenue Regulations 6-82, as amended, is hereby further amended to read as follows: "Sec. 3. Exemptions from withholding . The following income payments are excepted from the requirement of withholding: (a) Fees paid to a public official . Authorized fees paid to public officials such as notaries public, clerks of court, sheriffs, etc., for services rendered in the performance of their official duties are excepted from the definition of the term "compensation" and hence are not subject to withholding. However, salaries paid such officials by the government, or government agency or instrumentality, are subject to withholding. (b) Remuneration paid for agricultural labor . (1) In general . Remuneration for services which constitute agricultural labor and paid entirely in products of the farm where the labor is performed is not subject to withholding. In general, however, the term "agricultural labor" does not include services performed in connection with forestry, lumbering or landscaping. (2) Services constituting agricultural labor . Remuneration paid entirely in products of the farm where the labor is performed for services performed on a farm by an employee of any person in connection with any of the following activities is excepted as remuneration for agricultural labor: (i) The cultivation of soil; (ii) The raising, shearing, feeding, caring for, training, or management of livestock, bees, poultry, or wildlife; or acd (iii) The raising or harvesting of any other agricultural or horticultural commodity. The term "farm" as used in this subsection includes, but is not limited to stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, and truck farms, plantations, ranches, nurseries, ranges, orchards, and such greenhouses and such similar structures as are used primarily for the raising of agricultural or horticultural commodities. (3) The remuneration paid entirely in products of the farm where labor is performed for the following services in the employ of the owner or tenet or other operator of one or more farms is excepted as remuneration for agricultural labor, provided the major part of such services is performed on a farm: (i) Services performed in connection with the operation, management, conservation, improvement, or maintenance of any such farms or its tools or equipment; or (ii) Services performed in salvaging timber, or clearing land of brush and other debris, left by a hurricane or typhoon. The services described in (i) above may include, for example, services performed by carpenters, painters, mechanics, farm supervisors, irrigation engineers, bookkeepers, and other skilled or semi-skilled workers, which contribute in any way to the conduct of the farm or farms, as such, operated by the person employing them, distinguished from any other enterprise in which such person may be engaged. Since the services described in this paragraph must be performed in the employ of the owner or tenant or other operator of the farm, the exception does not extend to remuneration paid for services performed by employees of a commercial painting concern, for example. which contracts with a farmer to renovate his farm properties. (4) Remuneration paid entirely in products of the farm where labor is performed for services performed by the employee in the employ of any person in connection with any of the following operations is excepted as remuneration for agricultural labor without regard to the place where services are performed: (i) The making of copra, stripping of abaca, etc.; (ii) The hatching of poultry; (iii) The raising of fish; (iv) The operation or maintenance of ditches, canals, reservoirs, or waterways used exclusively for supplying or storing water for farming purposes; (v) The production or harvesting of crude gum from a living tree or the processing of such crude gum into spirits of turpentine and gum resin , provided such processing is carried on by the original producer of such crude gum. (5) Remuneration paid entirely in products of the farm where labor is performed for services performed by an employee in the employ of a farmer or farmer's cooperative organization or group in the handling, planting, drying, packing, packaging, processing, grading, storing or delivering to storage or to market or for a carrier for transportation to market, of any agricultural or horticultural commodity, produced by such farmer or farmer-members of such organization or group, is excepted as remuneration for agricultural labor. Services performed by employees of such farmer or farmers' organization or group in the handling, planting, drying, or packing, packaging, processing, freezing, grading, storing, or delivering to storage or to market or to carrier for transportation to market of commodities produced by persons other than such farmer or members of such farmers' organization or group are not performed "as an incident to ordinary farming operations." aisa dc All payments made in cash or other forms other than products of the farm where labor is performed, for services constituting agricultural labor as explained above, are not within the exception. (c) Remuneration for domestic services . Remuneration paid for services of a household nature performed by an employee in or about the private home of his employer is not subject to withholding. A private home is the fixed place of abode of an individual or family. If the home is utilized primarily for the purpose of supplying board or lodging to the public as a business enterprise, it ceases to be a private home and the remuneration paid to the employee for services performed therein is not excepted. In general, services of a household nature in or about a private home include services rendered by cooks, maid, butlers, valets, laundresses, gardeners and chauffeurs. The remuneration paid for the services above enumerated is not within the exception if performed in or about rooming or lodging houses, boarding houses, clubs, hotels, hospitals, or commercial offices or establishments. Remuneration paid for services performed as a private secretary, even though performed in the employer's home, is not within the exception. (d) Remuneration for casual labor not in the course of employer's trade or business . The term "casual labor" includes labor which is occasional, incidental or regular. The expression "not in the course of employers trade or business" includes labor that does not promote or does not advance the trade or business of the employer. Thus, remuneration paid for labor which is occasional, incidental or irregular, and does not promote or advance the employer's trade or business is excepted. Example : A's business is that of operating a sawmill. He employs B, a carpenter, at an hourly wage to repair his home. B works irregularly and spends the greater part of two days in completing the work. Since B's work is casual and is not in the course of A's trade or business, the remuneration paid for such services is excepted. cdt The remuneration paid for casual labor, that is, labor which is occasional, incidental or irregular, but which is in the course of the employer's trade or business, does not come within the above exception. Example ( 1 ) C's business is that of operating a sawmill. He employs D for two hours, at an hourly compensation, to remove sawdust from his mill. D's labor is casual since it is occasional, incidental or irregular, but it is in the course of C's trade or business and the remuneration, paid for such labor is not excepted. Example ( 2 ) E is engaged in the business of operating a department store. He employs additional clerks for short periods. While the services of the clerks may be casual, they are in the course of the employer's trade or business and, therefore, the remuneration paid for such services is not excepted. Remuneration paid for casual labor performed for a corporation does not come within this exception. (e) Compensation for services by a citizen or resident of the Philippines for a foreign government or an international organization . Remuneration paid for services performed as an employee of a foreign government or an international organization is excepted. The exception includes not only remuneration paid for services performed by ambassadors, ministers and other diplomatic officers and employees but also remuneration paid for services performed as a consular or other officer or employee of a foreign government or as a non-diplomatic representative of such government. However, compensation paid to Filipino civilian employees for services performed in military and naval bases and facilities of the United States within the Philippines which is subject to income tax is also subject to withholding tax. All such employees who are citizens or residents are required to file their income tax returns in compliance with Section 45 of the Tax Code. (f) Life insurance .

The amount received by the insured as a return of premiums paid by him under life insurance, endowment, or annuity contracts, either during the term or at the maturity of the term mentioned in the contract or upon surrender of the contract. (h) Compensation for injuries or sickness . Amounts received, through Accidents or Health Insurance or under Workmen's Compensation Acts, as compensation for personal injuries or sickness, plus the amounts of any damages received whether by suit or agreement on account of such injuries or sickness. (i) Income except under treaty . Income of any kind, to the extent required by any treaty obligation binding upon the government of the Philippines. (j) Retirement benefits, pensions, gratuities, etc . Retirement benefits received by officials and employees of private firms, whether individual or corporate, in accordance with a reasonable private benefit plan maintained by the employer: Provided , That the retiring official or employee has been in the service of the same employer for at least ten (10) years and is not less than 50 years of age at the time of his retirement: Provided, further , That the benefits granted under this paragraph shall be availed of by an official or employee only once. For purposes of this subsection, the term "reasonable private benefit plan" means a pension, gratuity, stock, bonus or profit-sharing plan maintained by an employer for the benefit of some or all of his officials or employees, wherein contributions are made by such employer or officials and employees, or both, for the purpose of distributing to such officials or employees the earnings and principal of the fund thus accumulated, and wherein it is provided in said plan that at no time shall any part of the corpus or income of the fund to be used for, or be diverted to, any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the said official or employees.

Add the amount of regular and supplementary compensation to be paid to an employee for the payroll period to the sum of regular and supplementary compensation paid since the beginning of the current year. 2. Deduct from the aggregate amount of compensation computed in No. 1 the amount of total exemptions of the employee. 3.

Determine the deficiency or excess, if any, of the tax computed in No. 3 over the cumulative tax already deducted and withheld since the beginning of the current calendar year. The deficiency tax (when the amount of tax computed in No. 3 is greater than the amount of cumulative tax already deducted and withheld) shall be deducted from the last payment of compensation for the calendar year. The excess tax (when the amount of cumulative tax already deducted is greater than the tax computed in No. 3) shall be credited or refunded from the remittable amount of taxes withheld in the current month in which the refund was made, and in the succeeding months thereafter until the amount refunded by the employer is fully repaid. aisa dc (2) Year-end adjustment : The tax due from each employee for the entire year shall be decreased by the sum of the taxes withheld from the salary of such employee from January to November. The difference shall be the amount to be withheld in December of the current calendar year or amount to be refunded if the sum of the taxes withheld from January to November is greater than the tax due from such employee for the entire year.
