 Sec. 24, A (2) (b), which speaks of Rate of Tax on Income of Purely Self-

NEW provision.

avail of an eight percent (8%) tax on gross sales or gross receipts and other non-
operating income in excess of P250,000 in lieu of the graduated income tax rates
(tax schedule) and of percentage tax under Sec. 116.

 Sec. 24, A (2) (c), applies for Mixed Income Earners or those earning
compensation income and income from business or practice of profession.

Under the said paragraph, income from Compensation shall be taxed based from the
tax schedule under paragraph (a).

While income from Business or Profession shall be taxed as follows:

a. If Total Gross Sales and/or Gross Receipts and Other Non-operating

Income Do Not Exceed the VAT Threshold taxpayer may choose between the
graduated income tax rate or eight percent (8%) income tax based on gross
sales or gross receipts and other non-operating income in lieu of the
graduated income tax rates and the percentage tax under Section 116

In case of long-term deposit, the change is that in case of pre-

there are different percent if pre-terminated before the period.
