An identified gross income will be subject to tax as follows:

Identified item of gross income

Identified item of gross income

Exception Tests:

Final Withholding Tax Taxab Capital Gains Tax

(Certain passive income le at (Certain capital gains
only) eithe only)
r

Regular Income Tax

Individuals: Progressive Taxation (5-32%)
Corporations: Proportional Taxation (30%)
Catch-all for all item of gross income not subject to final tax and
capital gains tax
Final tax and capital gains tax are the exceptions rule in the taxation of gross income. If
an item of gross income is subject to, or is exempted from, final tax or capital gains tax, it
is no longer subject to regular tax.
FINAL WITHHOLDING TAX
Final withholding tax is imposed to certain passive income. Refer to H004.1 for the list.
Under the final withholding tax system, the taxpayer actually shoulders the tax but it is
the income payor who withholds and pays the tax. The amount of tax withheld is final.
The taxpayer has no more responsibility to file an income tax return for the passive
income covered subject to final withholding tax.
Nature of Final Income Tax on Certain Passive Income:
1. The final taxes on the passive income are restrictive in application. They are
applicable only on the items of passive income that are expressly listed by the NIRC.
2. Final taxes are withheld at source by the income payor; hence, the income received by
the taxpayer is net of the final tax. The income taxpayer therefore need not file a
return for the passive income.
3. Final taxes apply only on specified passive income by the law earned in the
Philippines.
