ang tax dito ay 2% and every year ang pag bayad. monthly buo mo makukuha sahod mo.
Uhmm... Not exactly. Ina-assess ang tax per year and at the end of your contract kung work pass holder ka. Then, in a year, kung < 60 days ka nagwork, wala tax. Kung >= 60 pero less than 183 days (like kung work ka ng Aug-Dec), 15% ung tax. Kung >= 183 days ka nag-work, first 20000 ng annual gross mo wala tax.next 10000 ta-taxan ng 2%.
So assuming may one year contract ka at start ka ng Aug 1 with 2k na sweldo, lalabas na 1500 ung tax mo for 2015 (2k x 5 mths x 15%). Bandang Feb ng kasunod na taon ang assessment. Then, kung 1 year contract mo at hindi ka magrenew, ipa-pa-assess na ng employer mo ung tax mo by end of contract so for Jan-Jul 2016, nasa 14k pa lang, wala tax un. They will do this kahit lumipat ka ng employer pero since 0 tax, no problem. Kung ma-renew ka naman, again Feb ng susunod na taon ang assessment, pero full year na (Jan-Dec 2016). Kung wala ka bonus sa contract, that's 24k (2k x 12 mths). Wala tax ung first 20k. Tapos 2% tax sa 4k (80).
BTW, hindi mandatory ang 13th month pay dito so kung wala sa contract na may 1 month bonus upon completion, monthly salary lang aasahan mo. Tapos monthly usually ang sweldo. Lastly, while it's true na every year ang bayad, depende sa agency mo yan. May mga agency na nagw-withhold ng tax dahil kung bigla ka tumakas, sila magbabayad ng tax mo. Usually 15% for the first few months. Mare-refund naman kung sumobra ung na-deduct sa 'yo. Kung hindi naman nagwithhold employee mo at medyo mabigat ung 1500 sa first year, pdeng i-apply ng installment yan, auto-deducted sa bank account mo.
