Philippine Laws -Simplified | Free Legal Advice

Welcome! I'm Giancarlo Enrico S. Pozon, a Wushu instructor, investor and Barrister... That's right, Barrister; I graduated from law school and took the Bar Exams, now I'm waiting for the results. I created this blog to make Philippine Law easy to understand for the average person. It's all about free legal advice. There are many law blogs. But the problem is that many of them are written for lawyers and law students. They use words that can't be understood by ordinary people. Many lawyers, judges and law students consider themselves as superior to most human beings because of their knowledge of the law. It bothers me since the law is supposed to serve society. Since the law is meant to serve society as a whole, it is important that is must be understood by everybody. This does not mean that we should all become lawyers. It means that although law is a highly specialized profession, the first duty of everybody in this profession is to make the law understandable to all; that's why all these articles are free legal advice. Like I said, this blog is about law -but it's for the ordinary people, not the lawyers. It's for the ordinary folk so they will know what is good and bad for them, and that making them aware of the law will help us all improve society as a whole. This is free legal advice for everybody!

Personal and Additional Exemptions 1

Friday, December 9, 2011

Both employees and employers are allowed to deduct personal and additional exemptions from their gross incomes. It's in this article. Read it also in conjunction with this one. This article will show you how it's done.

These exemptions are arbitrary amounts allowed for the taxpayer's personal, living or family expenses and based roughly on the minimum of subsistence.

Every person, whether single, widowed or married but legally separated with no qualified dependent can claim a personal exemption of Php50,000.00. The same is true for the head of a family and a married individual. The additional exemption is Php25,000.00 for each qualified child or dependent (maximum of 4.)  So a family can claim up to Php200,000.00 in personal and additional exemptions. "Head of a family" is not the same as a "married individual."

Head of the Family

A head of the family refers to any single or legally separated man or woman who has the following kinds of dependents enumerated below:

1.) One or both of the taxpayer's parents living with him and dependent on him for chief support.
2.) One or more brothers and sisters who are living with the taxpayer; not more than 21 years old; not married; and not gainfully employed; or incapable of self-support because of mental or physical defect, regardless of age.
3.) One or more children who are legitimate, illegitimate or adopted; living with the taxpayer; married; not dependent on him for chief support; not more than 21 years old; and not gainfully employed; or incapable of self-support because of physical or mental defect, regardless of age.
4.) One or more senior citizens, whether relatives or not, who are living with the taxpayer; dependent on him for chief support; at least 60 years old and have an annual income of not more than Php60,000.00.

"Living with the taxpayer" doesn't necessarily mean the dependent lives with the taxpayer. A dependent studying in another place can be considered living with the taxpayer due to support. "Chief support" means that the dependent has other sources of income but his main support comes from the taxpayer. This is connected to "not gainfully employed;" which means that the dependent's income isn't enough to support himself. Note: a person with an annual income that doesn't exceed Php50,000.00 is not considered gainfully employed.

For a married couple with a family, the general rule is that the husband claims the additional exemptions for dependent children. These are the exceptions:

1.) The husband is unemployed
2.) The husband is a non-resident citizen whose income is from foreign sources
3.) If the husband waives his right to claim the exemptions of the children (should be for all the children)

In the third instance, the waiver should be in a sworn statement attached to his Application for Registration (BIR Form 1902) and that of his wife's in accordance to procedure. 

Both husband and wife compute their incomes and expenses separately but file only 1 return unless it's impractical for them to do so.

In case the spouses are legally separated, the spouse who is awarded the custody of the children can claim the exemption.

In case of a change of status, the following rules are to be observed:

1.) If the taxpayer marries or has additional dependents during the taxable year, he can claim the corresponding additional /personal exemption in full for that year.

2.) If he dies during the taxable year, his estate can still claim the personal and additional exemptions for himself and his dependents as if he died at the end of the taxable year.

3.) If the spouse or any of the dependents die within the taxable year, or if any of the dependents marry, become 21 years old or become gainfully employed during the taxable year, the taxpayer can still claim the same exemptions for that taxable year.

The following taxpayers are allowed to avail of personal and additional exemptions:

1.) Resident Citizens
2.) Non-resident Citizens
3.) OCWs/OFWs
4.) Non-resident aliens engaged in trade or business in the Philippines if there is reciprocity
5.) Estates and trusts (Php20,000.00 only)
6.) Resident Aliens

The following aren't allowed to claim personal and additional exemptions:

1.) Non-resident aliens engaged in trade or business if there is no reciprocity
2.) Non-resident aliens not engaged in trade or business
3.) Partnerships and corporations

Reciprocity

If the country of the alien grants similar exemptions to Filipinos, the Philippines grants exemptions in return. If there is reciprocity, the amount to be deducted can't exceed the limits of Philippine tax law. In case one exemption is lower the lower one is preferred, even if the foreign country's exception is the lower one.

Sir, salamat sa post na ito. Marami akong na-confirm na info. This past month kasi eh bumalik ang (form 2301) application ko as head of the family dahil according to BIR eh hindi daw qualified dependents ang mga kapatid ko (Ages 19, 16, and 12). Saan po kaya ako makakakuha ng copy ng definition ng "head of the family" para po masuportahan ang application ko. I've checked BIR's website pero hindi po nila na-define ng mabuti ang "head of the family", etc. Thanks in advance sir.

Enrico said...

"Head of the family" nasa National Internal Revenue Code Sec. 35 amended by RA 9504

Anonymous said...

thank you sir.

Anonymous said...

sir, another question. I've found and read the code and it defines "head of the family" just as you said. But I really cannot find the paragraph/clause which clearly defines what "living with the taxpayer" means. As you discussed, ""Living with the taxpayer" doesn't necessarily mean the dependent lives with the taxpayer...". If it's not too much to ask, is there a section in the code where I can find this?

Enrico said...

That's the interpretation of the term "living with the taxpayer" already. "Living with the taxpayer" means being dependent on the taxpayer. That's how the tax law experts interpret it.

Good day, can a stepchild be claimed as a dependent?

Enrico said...

Hello JP,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, a stepchild can be calimed as a dependent.

Unknown said...

A resident alien working here in the Philippines having 4 qualified dependents, if he is qualified to additional exemption?

Thanks

Anonymous said...

Hi, thank you for your reply. Can you point me to any document that contains the guidelines for claiming stepchildren as dependents? The BIR personnel I've talked to say that the taxpayer should legally adopt the stepchildren first.

Thank you and more power!

eillahgurl said...

good pm sir,

i am a single mother (head of the family), can i claim my child as an additional exemption of P25,000, aside from the personal exemption?

Unknown said...

Hi! My husband and I just got married last january. Do we need to file for a joint tax return before I can claim the exemption for dependent? On the waiver document, its says there that "The we file a joint income tax return on our taxable income". However, i'm confused as my husband only receives a non-taxable allowance from his job as a real estate sales agent. How can I proceed with filing to claim the exemption for our newborn son?

lenam said...

maximum of 4 lang QD child so P25,000 x 4 = P100,000 + P50,000 (personal exemption) = P150,000 san pa po galing ang P50,000 to sum up to P200,000?

lenam said...

Good day sir.I'm married with 1 dependent. Can i declare my mother and my grandmother as additional dependents who are living with me and depend on me for their support. They are both senior citizen already sir.Thank you sir for your advice. God bless and more power to you sir.

Enrico said...

Thank you so much for your help, Zhanra! My workload is overwhelming me.

Enrico said...

Gloria Luz and OrangeBelle, sorry for the late reply. RA 9504 no longer allows senior citizens to be claimed as dependents. If they have pensions, however, the pensions are exempt from tax.

Hi Sir Enrico. My current tax status is S1 - Single with one dependent (my son). I updated it to add my 2nd child and then 2 of my younger siblings - ages 17 and 15, but my company says there is no "Head of the Family" tax status anymore.

They only accepted my 2nd child as additional dependent and upgraded my tax status to S2.

Is it true that there in no head of the family status anymore with BIR?

Thanks in advance.

Please help me, are they qualified to be my dependents so I can change my status to Head of the family and have my taxes be reduced??? It'll be a great help.

@Nourah Saplala..
No, only one can claim and declare your child as dependent. Mas maganda kung sino ang mas mataas ang sahod sa inyo, iyon dapat ang mag-claim ng dependent.

Mart said...

Hi sir maganda po itong blog nyo kaso ask ko lang po sa inyo kung ang senior citizen po ay considered sa additional tax exemption (25,000). Kasi po sa ibang books sinasabi hindi po kasama ang senior citizen and sa iba naman po sinasabi kasama and ask ko na rin po kung ang isang Non Resident Alien Engaged in Trade and/or Business with reciprocity ay entitled din po sa additional tax exemption.

Hello. I just want to ask the following.

All the family members are living abroad. But by blood, they are Filipinos. They are non-resident citizens. Now, the wife is earning income in the Philippines. Her income is used for their house repair, etc. in the Philippines. Her Philippine income is not used to support the needs of their kids since her husband has a good job abroad. Can she claim additional exemption to a maximum of 100,000.00? Needing answer so badly, God Bless.

Unknown said...

Sir, I'm living with my parents who are both senior citizens and, they are not receiving any pension. I think I can be considered as a head of the family, can I declare them as dependents? Thank you sir! I really need your help. I'm having this condition for three years already and my tax is really getting a big part of my salary considering that both my parents are under medication. Thanks.

Good day!
My husband is working in Malaysia and I am an employee.
Previously, he is the one who claimed for tax exemption for our son.
Right now, I will update for an exemption for my son. Do I still need to attach a waiver of my husband?

Thank you

Mr. Enrico,

I would like to know if my daughter could add her mom her dependent even though she, my wife is getting a monthly remittance from me since I am an OFW. My daughter is hoping that she could somehow have a little deduction from her salary.

Thanks,

Unknown said...

Hello sir. I would like to know if I can apply as Head of the family since our chief source of support is almost from my salary. I'm single, living with my parents (less than 60 year old), and with 6 brothers/sisters. My father still working but at the minimum wage maybe (not sure) but his salary cannot support our living especially all of my brothers/sisters are studying and one of them are in college level. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

HSS said...

sir,
my husband and i are both government employee. i am claiming the my 2 children as my dependent..a year ago i had another child..can my husband claim my youngest as his dependent?can we reimburse the claim because we did not update last year? hoping for your response on this matter..thank you very much..

Enrico said...

Hello everybody. Soory for the late reply. I'm reviewing for this year's Bar Exam so I'm pretty busy. I'll try to answer a few questions.

1.) Yes, the maximum exemption is Php200,000.

2.) The general rule is that the husband claims the exemption unless he waives it in favor of the wife. In case a new child is born, the wife claims exemption for the new child unless she specifically waives the exemption in favor of the husband. The claim can be reimbursed or deducted as a tax credit.

3.) In case of a single parent, even if married but the other spouse hasn't declared him/herself to be the husband/wife, the single parent automatically claims the deduction.

4.) Regarding senior citizens to be qualified as dependents, include proof (senior's ID, for example.) A CPA can be approached for the procedural aspect.

5.) In case of adopted children to be claimed as dependents, the adoption papers are the proof to be presented. Once again, approach a CPA for the procedure.

6.) In case a person other than the head of the family is also working, he can claim his own personal exemption and can even claim other dependents in the family as his own dependents.

7.) For OFWs, it is the spouse staying at home who claims the exemption for both spouses. But note this: OFWs are tax-exempt already on their income from the country where they work. This means that if the spouse staying at home is not working and dependent on the remittances coming from abroad, he/she is exempt from paying taxes. If the couple has a child who is working, the child can claim the additional exemption on the parent staying at home only if the parent is a senior citizen.

8.) For those seeking to include their dependents to claim exemption, go to the employer, who will make a note of that to his accountant/CPA.
