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 payment of the Income
Tax due from the payee on the particular income subjected to final withholding tax.

withheld by National Government Agencies (NGAs) and instrumentalities, including government-
owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and local government units (LGUs), before making any
payments to non-VAT registered taxpayers/suppliers/payees
