are expected to gain familiarization and demonstration of mastery of the following:
a. Types of taxation schemes and their scope
b. concept of accounting period and its types
c. Concept of accounting methods and their accounting procedures
d. Types of tax returns, their deadline and place of filing
NOTE: An item of gross income that is subject to tax in one scheme will not be taxed by
the other schemes. Similarly, items of income that are exempted in one scheme are not
taxable by the other schemes.
Items of gross income from these sources are valued or measured using an accounting
method, accumulated over an accounting period, and reported to the government through an
income tax return. Regular income taxation makes use of the self-assessment method.
ACCOUNTING PERIOD - is the length of time over which income is measured and reported.
4. Income from Leasehold Improvement -the income from leasehold improvement can
be reported using either of the following method at the option of the taxpayer:
a. Outright method - the lessor may report as income the fair market value of
such buildings or improvements subject to the lease at the time
when such buildings or improvements are completed.
b. Spread-out method - The lessor may spread over the life of the lease the
estimated depreciated value of such buildings or improvements at
the termination of the lease and report as income for each year of
the lease as aliquot part thereof.
The initial farm development costs of perennial crops like mangoes, coconut and
banana are capitalized and amortized over the expected years of harvest. The
harvests are accounted for using cash basis or accrual basis. One-time crops are
accounted for using the crop year basis.
Crop year basis - under this method, farming income is recognized as the
difference between the proceeds of harvest and expenses of the
particular crop harvested. The expenses of each crop are
accumulated and deducted upon the harvest of the crops.
