Witholding Tax

Description
Withholding Tax on Compensation is the tax withheld from income payments to individuals
arising from an employer-employee relationship.
Expanded Withholding Tax is a kind of withholding tax which is prescribed on certain income
payments and is creditable against the income tax due of the payee for the taxable quarter/year
in which the particular income was earned.
Final Withholding Tax is a kind of withholding tax which is prescribed on certain income
payments and is not creditable against the income tax due of the payee on other income subject
to regular rates of tax for the taxable year. Income Tax withheld constitutes the full and final

withholding tax.
