Income Tax Computation Under The Train Law


Income Tax Computation for Individuals Earning Income from Self-Employment or Practice of Profession
(under the Train Law)

Example: I operate a convenience store while I offer tax accounting services to my clients. In 2018, my gross sales amounted to P800,000.00, in addition to my receipts from accounting services of P300,000.00. I already signified my intention to be taxed at 8% income tax rate in my 1st Quarter return.

My income tax liability for 2018 will be computed as follows:

Gross Sales – Convenience Store
P   800,000.00
Gross Receipts – Accounting Services
300,000.00
Total Sales/Receipts
1,100,000.00
Less: Amount allowed as deduction under Sec. 24(A)(2)(b)
250,000.00
Taxable Income
P   850,000.00


Tax Due: 8% of P850,000.00
P     68,000.00

Conditions present:
·   The total gross sales/receipts is below the VAT threshold of P3,000,000.00 (If the gross sales/receipts exceeded the VAT threshold, taxpayer shall be liable to pay income tax under the graduated income tax rate)

·    Taxpayer’s source of income is purely from self-employment (i.e. no compensation income), thus entitled to the amount allowed as deduction of P250,000.00 under Sec. 24(A)(2)(b) of the Tax Code, as amended.

·        Income tax payment is in lieu of the graduated income tax rates and percentage tax due.
