OTHER PERCENTAGE TAXES
PERCENTAGE TAX
Percentage Tax may be applicable for:
 Businesses with gross annual sales and/or receipts not exceeding P3,000,000; and
 Business that are not VAT-registered businesses
- Percentage tax is a business tax imposed on persons, entities, or transactions specified under Sections 116 to 127 of the National
Internal Revenue Code of 1997 (also known as Tax Code), as amended, and as required under special laws.
- A tax imposed on sale, barter or exchange of goods or sale of services based upon gross sales, value in money or receipts (except
insurance companies) derived by the manufacturer, producer, or seller measured by certain percentage of the gross selling price or
receipts.
A percentage tax is a national tax measured by a certain percentage of the gross selling price or gross value in money of goods sold
or bartered or of the gross receipts or earnings derived by any person engaged in the sale or services.
BASIS OF TAX
The tax is based on gross sales,
receipts or earnings except on
insurance companies where the basis
of tax is the total premium
collected/paid.
"Gross receipts" means all amounts

received by the prime or principal
contractor, undiminished by any
amount paid to any subcontractor
under a subcontract arrangement.
For the purpose of the amusement

tax, the term “gross receipts”
embraces all the receipts of the
proprietor, lessee or operator of the
amusement place. Said gross receipts
also include income from television,
radio and motion picture rights, if any.
Characteristics of Percentage Tax:

1. It is a business tax
2. It is a form of sales tax
3. It is a deduction from gross income
Note:
Percentage Tax Vs. Value-Added

Tax (VAT)
Value Added Tax, or VAT, and

Percentage Tax are both business taxes collected from the sale of goods and services. The taxes differ, however, in their
applicability. Business owners must understand which tax they are registered for and the financial implications for their business.
Percentage Tax is a direct tax – the seller is the one who shoulders the tax and files it with the BIR. Whereas, VAT is an indirect
tax – the end consumer is charged for the tax, while the seller is responsible for remitting to the BIR.
In the Philippines, the rate of VAT is 12%. To compute for VAT, deduct the input VAT from the output VAT to arrive at the VAT due
and payable.
Computing Percentage Tax is much simpler. Multiply the applicable Percentage Tax rate against the taxable base (i.e. for standard
businesses – the total value of the gross sales or receipts) and the resulting amount is the Percentage Tax due and payable to
the BIR.

TAX TREATMENT OF “ PASSED ON GROSS RECEIPT TAX” UNDER SECTION 121

AND 122 (RMC 62-2016)
The “passed-on” GRT should form part of the tax base upon which the GRT is based for gross receipt tax purposes, based on the
definition of gross receipts, that is based on actual or constructive receipt of income. Since bank, non-bank financial
intermediaries, financing companies and other financial intermediaries not performing quasi-banking functions doing business in
the Philippines are directly liable for GRT on gross receipts derived by them from business operations, the “passed-on” GRT shall
be considered as receipt of gross income specified under Section 32 (A) of the Tax Code.
Passed on GRT: Tax Rate

Tax on Banks and Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries Performing Quasi-banking Functions 7%
Tax on Finance Companies/Tax on Other Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries 5%
The “passed-on” GRT are considered as other fees and charges. The classification of passed on GRT as other fees and charges is
consistent with the implementing rules issued by the BSP through BSP Circular No. 370 (Updated Rules Implementing the Truth in
Lending Act to Enhance Loan Transaction Transparency dated July 20, 2011. Pertinent portions of which reads, Finance charge
includes interest, fees, service charges, discounts, and such other charges incident to the extension of credit.
Can the “Passed-on” GRT be claimed by the customer/client/borrower as a deduction for income tax purposes?
Yes. Passed on GRT (as other fees) under Section 34 of the Tax Code, subject, however, to the requirements for the deductibility
under Section 2.58.5 of RR No. 2-98, as amended by RR No. 12-2013.
What is the proper tax treatment by Banks and non-bank financial intermediaries on the “passed-on” GRT for income
tax purposes?
Banks and non-bank financial intermediaries can claim the GRT paid as deductible expense for income tax purposes pursuant to
Section 34 (C) of the Tax Code subject to the actual remittance of the GRT as provided under Section 128 of the Tax Code.
On the other hand, the interest charge to the client-borrower and the “passed-on” GRT shall be considered as receipt of income as
specified under Section 32 of the Tax Code.

shares of 90,000,000 shares.
Likewise, at the time of IPO, Pepito Tan decided to sell his 4,000,000 shares to the public at P3 per share. Thus, 30,000,000 shares
have been offered at IPO thru “ primary offering” (by the issuing corporation) and 4,000,000 shares thru “ secondary offering” (by
the shareholder).
On June 20X5 (subsequent to IPO), Divisoria issued additional new 4,000,000 shares to the public also at P2.50 per share. A month
later, Reyes Santos sold its 2,000,000 shares to the public (through local stock exchange) at P2.75 per share.

20X5.

2.
Ratio (30,000,000/90,000,000) = 33% tax rate 2%
30,000,000 x P2.50 = P75,000,000 x 2% = P1,500,000
3.
Ratio (4,000,000/ 90,000,000) = 4.44%  tax rate 4%
(4,000,000 x3 x 4%) = P480,000
Under RR 6-2008, existing shareholders selling their shares to the local stock exchange “ during IPO” are likewise subject to
percentage tax in the same manner as the issuing corporation. Nonetheless, the applicable tax rate for IPO for the issuing
corporation and the shareholder shall be computed independently.
