THE CONCEPT OF INCOME

 Why is income subject to tax?

Income is regard as the best measure of taxpayers’ ability to pay tax. It is an


excellent object of taxation in the allocation of government costs.

 What is income for taxation purposes?

The tax concept of income is simply referred to as “gross income” under the NIRC.
A taxable item of income is referred to as an “item of gross income” or “inclusion
in gross income”.

Gross income simply means taxable income in layman’s term. Under the NIRC
however, the term “taxable income” refers to certain items of gross income less
deductions and personal exemptions allowable by law. Technically, gross income is
broader too pertain to any income that can be subjected to income tax.

Gross income is broadly defined as any inflow of wealth to the taxpayer from
whatever source, legal or illegal, that increases net worth. It includes income from
employment, trade, business or exercises of profession, income from properties, and
other sources such as dealings in properties and other regular or casual transactions.
ELEMENTS OF GROSS INCOME

1. It is a return on capital that increases net worth.


2. It is a realized benefit.
3. It is not exempted by law, contract or treaty.

RETURN ON CAPITAL

Capital means any wealth or property. Gross income is a return on wealth or


property that increases the taxpayer’s net worth.

Illustration
ABC purchase goods for P300 and sold them for P500. The P500 consideration
can be analyzed as follows:
Selling price (total consideration received) 500 Total return
Cost (value of inventory forgone) 300 Return of capital
Mark-up (gross income) ₱ 200 Return on capital

The return on capital that increases net worth is income subject to income tax.
Return of capital merely maintains net worth; hence, it is not taxable. An
improvement in net worth indicates ability to pay tax.
Capital items deemed with infinite value

There are capital items that have infinite value and


are incapable of pecuniary valuation. Anything
received as compensation for their loss is deemed a
return of capital.

Examples:
1. Life

2. Health

3. Human reputation
Life

The value of life is immeasurable by money. Under Sec. 32 of the NIRC, the
proceeds of life insurance policies paid to the heirs or beneficiaries upon
death of the insured, whether in a single sum or otherwise, are exempt from
income tax.

The proceeds of a life insurance contract collected by an employer as a


beneficiary from the life insurance of an officer or any person directly
interested with his trade are likewise exempt. These proceeds are viewed as
advances recovery of future loss.

However, the following are taxable return on capital from insurance policies:
a. Any excess amount received over premiums paid by the insured upon
surrender or maturity of the policy (i.e. the insured outlives the policy.)
b. Gain realized by the insured from the assignment or sale of his insurance
policy.
c. Interest income from the unpaid balance of the proceeds of the policy
d. Any excess of the proceeds received over the acquisition costs and
premium payments by an assignee of a life insurance policy.
Health

Any compensation received in consideration for the loss


of health such as compensation for personal injuries or
tortuous acts is deemed a return of capital.

Human Reputation

The value of one’s reputation cannot be measured


financially. Any indemnity received as compensation for
its impairment is deemed a return of capital exempt
from income tax.

Examples include moral damages received from:


a. Oral defamation or slander
b. Alienation of affection
c. Breach of promise to marry
Recovery of lost capital vs. Recovery of lost profits

The loss of capital results in decrease in net worth while the


loss of profits does not decrease net worth. The recovery of
lost capital merely maintains net worth while the recovery of
lost profits increases net worth. Therefore, the recovery of lost
profits is a return on capital.

Taxable recovery of lost profits

The recovery of lost profits through insurance, indemnity


contracts, or legal suits constitutes a taxable return on capital.

The following are taxable recoveries of lost profits:


a. Proceeds of crop or livestock insurance
b. Guarantee payments
c. Indemnity received from patent infringement suit
Illustration 1

Mang Tomas insured his strawberry crop in a P200,000 crop insurance coverage against calamities.
The crop was eventually destroyed by an unusual frost. Mang Tomas was paid the P200,000
insurance proceeds.

The P200,000 proceeds which is a reimbursement for the lost value of the future harvest, is an item of gross
income. The value of the lost crops is, in effect, realized not through actual harvest but through the insurance
contract.

Illustration 2

Mr. Santiago purchased a franchise. The franchisor guaranteed an annual franchise income of
P100,000 to Mr. Santiago. In the first year of operation, Mr. Santiago’s outlet only earned P60,000.
The franchisor paid the P40,000 difference to Mr. Santiago.

The P40,000 guarantee payment is not a gratuity but a recovery of lost profit for Mr. Santiago; hence,
subject to income tax Mr. Santiago shall report P100,000 as franchise income.

Illustration 3

Mindoro Inc. experienced an unusual decline in its income after a competitor copied its patented
invention. Mindoro sued the competitor for patent infringement and was awarded an indemnity of
P3,000,000.

The P3,000,000 indemnities are a compensation for the income not realized by Mindoro due to the patent
infringement. The same is an item of gross income.

The recovery of lost income or profits is not intended to compensate for the loss of capital. It is as good as
realization of income; hence, it is an item of gross income.
REALIZED BENEFIT

What is meant by realized benefit?

The “benefit” concept


The term “benefit” means any form of advantage derived by the taxpayer.
There is benefit when there is an increase in the net worth of the taxpayer.
An increase in net worth occurs when one receives income, donation or
inheritance.

The following are not benefits, hence, not taxable:


a. Receipt of a loan – properties increase but obligations also increase
resulting in an offsetting effect in net worth
b. Discovery of lost properties – under the law, the finder has an
obligation to return the same to the owner
c. Receipt of money or property to be held in trust for, or to be remitted
to, another person

If the taxpayer is entitled to keep for his account portion of a receipt, only
that portion is a benefit.
Illustration

1. An employee was granted P20,000 transportation


advance. He liquidated P18,000 transportation
expenses and was allowed by his employer to keep
the P2,000. Only the P2,000 retained by the employee
is considered income since this was the extent he was
benefited. (RR2-98)

2. A security agency receives P120,000 from clients,


P100,000 of which is for the salaries of security
guards. Under RMC 39-2007, only the P20,000
attributable to the agency is considered income of the
agency since it is the extent it is benefited. The
P100,000 pertaining to salaries of security guards is
recognized by the agency as a liability upon receipt.
The “realized” concept

The term realized means earned. It requires that there


is a degree of undertaking or sacrifice from the
taxpayer to be entitled of the benefit.

Requisites of a realized benefit:


1. There must be an exchange transaction.

2. The transaction involves another entity.

3. It increases the net worth of the recipient.


Types of Transfers

1. Bilateral transfers or exchanges, such as:


a. Sale
b. Barter

These are referred to as “onerous transactions”.

2. Unilateral transfers, such as:


a. Succession – transfer of property upon death
b. Donation

These are also referred to as “gratuitous transactions”.

Under current usage, unilateral transfers are simply referred to as “transfers” while
bilateral transfers are called “exchanges”. Benefits derived from onerous transactions are
“earned or realized”; hence, they are subject to income tax. Benefits derived from
gratuitous transactions are not realized because of the absence of an earning process.
Benefits derived from gratuitous transactions are subject to transfer tax, not income tax.
3. Complex transactions

Complex transactions are partly gratuitous and partly onerous. These are
commonly referred to as “transfers for less than full and adequate consideration”.
The gratuitous portion of the transaction is subject to transfer tax while the benefit
from the onerous portion is subject to income tax.

Illustration
A taxpayer sold his car which was previously purchased for P100,000 and with a
current fair value of P180,000 for only P130,000.

The transaction will be analyzed as follows:


Fair value ₱ 180,000
₱50,000 – subject to transfer tax
Selling price 130,000
₱30,000 – subject to income tax
Cost 100,000

The excess of fair value over selling price is a gratuity or gift whereas the excess
of the selling price over the cost is an item of gross income.
What is meant by another entity?

Every person, natural or juridical, is an entity. Natural persons


are living persons while juridical persons are those created by
law such as partnerships and corporations. An entity may be a
taxable entity or an empty entity. A taxable item of gross
income arises from transactions which involve another natural
or juridical entity.

Gains or income derived between relatives, corporations, and


between a partner and the partnership are taxable since it is
made between separate entities. Likewise, the income between
affiliated companies such as between a holding parent
company and its subsidiaries and between sister companies are
taxable because each corporation is a separate entity. This
applies regardless of the underlying economic relationship.
Benefits in the absence of transfer

The increase in wealth of the taxpayer in the form of appreciation or increase in the value
of his properties or decrease in the value of his obligations in the absence of a sale or barter
transaction is not taxable.

These are referred to as unrealized gains or holding gains because they have not yet
materialized in an exchange transaction.

Examples of unrealized gains or holdings gains:


a. Increase in value of investments in equity or debt securities.
b. Increase in value of real properties held (revaluation increment)
c. Increase in value of foreign currencies held or receivable
d. Decrease in value of foreign currency denomination debt by virtue of favorable
fluctuation in exchange rates
e. Birth of animal offspring, accruals of fruits in an orchard or growth of farm
vegetables
f. Increase in value of land due to the discovery of mineral reserves

Rendering of services

The rendering of services for a consideration is an exchange but does not cause a loss of
capital. Hence, the entire consideration received from rendering of services such as
compensation income or service fees is an item of gross income.
Illustration

Mr. Saladin lists the following possible items of gross income:


Compensation income ₱ 200,000
Winning from gambling 100,000
Increase in value of investments 50,000
Appreciation in the value of land owned 300,000
Debt of Saladin cancelled by creditors in consideration
for services he rendered to them 150,000
Debt of Saladin cancelled by his creditor out of affection 250,000
Loan received from a bank 400,000

The items of gross income are:

Compensation income ₱ 200,000


Winning from gambling 100,000
Debt of Saladin forgiven in consideration
for services rendered to his creditors 150,000

Note:
1. Gains from gambling and the forgiveness of debt in consideration of services or properties received are
realized gains from exchanges.
2. The forgiveness of debt out of affection or mere generosity of the creditor is a gratuitous transfer subject to
transfer tax.
3. The loan received from a bank constitutes a transfer but is not a benefit.
Basis of Exemption of Unrealized Income

Normally, taxpayers will have the ability to pay tax when


their income materializes in an exchange transaction since
tax is generally payable in money.

This does not mean, however, that only income realize in


cash is subject to tax. Income realized in non-cash
properties are, in effect, received in cash but the taxpayer
used the same to acquire the non-cash property. Income
received in non-cash considerations is taxable at the fair
value of the property received. Moreover, exempting
income realized in non-cash considerations would open a
wide avenue for tax evasion since taxpayers can easily
divert their income in the form of non-cash consideration.
Mode of Receipt/Realization Benefits

Taxable items of income may be realized by the taxpayer in two ways:


1. Actual receipt
Actual receipt involves actual physical taking of the income in the form
of cash or property.

2. Constructive receipt
Constructive receipt involves no actual physical taking of the income
but the taxpayer is effectively benefited.

Examples:
a. Offset of debt of the taxpayer in consideration for the sale of goods or
service
b. Deposit of the income to the taxpayer’s checking account
c. Matured detachable interest coupons on coupon bonds not yet encashed
by the taxpayer
d. Increase in the capital of a partner from the partner from the profit of the
partnership
Inflow of wealth without increase in net worth

The inflow of wealth to a person that does not increase his


net worth is not income due to the total absence of benefit.

Examples:
a. Receipt of property in trust
b. Borrowing of money under an obligation to return

In law, the proceeds of embezzlement or swindling where


money is taken without an original intention to return are
considered as income because of the increase in net worth
of the swindler.
NOT EXEMPTED BY LAW, CONTRACT, OR TREATY

An item of gross income is not exempted by the Constitution, Law,


Contracts or Treaties from taxation.

The following items of income are exempted by the law from taxation;
hence, they are not considered items of gross income:

1. Income of qualified employee trust fund


2. Revenues of non-profit non-stock educational institutions
3. SSS, GSIS, Pag-ibig, or PhilHealth benefits
4. Salaries and wages of minimum wage earners and qualified senior
citizen
5. Regular income of Barangay Micro-Business Enterprises
(BMBEs)
6. Income of foreign governments and foreign government-owned
and controlled corporations
7. Income of international missions and organizations with income
tax immunity.

for less than 180 days as of December 31, 2019. If he is still within the Philippines until December 31,
2020, he will qualify as a resident alien for 2020.

Illustration 3

Without any definite intention as to the nature of his stay, Juan Masipag, a Filipino citizen, left the

Taxable Estates and Trusts

1. Estate

Estate refers to the properties, rights, and obligations of a deceased person not extinguished by his death.

Estates under judicial settlement are treated as individual taxpayers. The estate is taxable on the income of the
properties left by the decedent. Estates under extrajudicial settlement are exempt entities. The income of the
properties of the estate under extrajudicial settlement is taxable to the heirs.

2. Trust

A trust is an arrangement whereby one person (grantor or trustor) transfers (i.e. donates) property to another
person (beneficiary), which will be held under the management of a third party (trustee or fiduciary)

A trust that is irrevocably designated by the grantor is treated in taxation as if it is an individual taxpayer. The
income of the property held in trust is taxable to the trust. Trusts that are designated as revocable by the
grantor are not taxable entities and are not considered as individual taxpayers. The income of properties held
under revocable trusts is taxable to the grantor not to the trust.

When the trust agreement is silent as to revocability of the trust, the trust is presumed to be revocable.
CORPORATE INCOME TAXPAYERS

The term ‘corporation’ shall include partnerships, no matter how


created or organized, joint-stock companies, joint accounts,
association, or insurance companies, except general professional
partnerships and a joint venture or consortium formed for the purpose
of undertaking construction projects or engaging in petroleum, coal,
geothermal, and other energy operations pursuant to an operating
consortium agreement under a service contract with the government.

Hence, the term corporation includes profit-oriented and non-profit


institutions such as charitable institutions, cooperatives, government
agencies and instrumentabilities, associations, leagues, civic or
religious and other organizations.

Domestic Corporation

A domestic corporation is a corporation that is organized in accordance


with Philippine laws.
Foreign Corporation

2. Non-resident foreign corporation (NFRC) – a foreign corporation which does not
operate or conduct business in the Philippines.

Note:
1. A corporation that incorporates in the Philippines is a domestic corporation under the
Incorporation Test even if the same is controlled by foreigners.
2. A foreign corporation that transacts business with residents through a resident branch
is taxable on such transaction as a resident foreign corporation through its branch.
However, if it transacts directly to residents outside its branch, it is taxable as a non-
resident foreign corporation on the direct transactions.

Special Corporations

Special corporations are domestic or foreign corporations which are subject to special tax
rules or preferential tax rates.
OTHER CORPORATE TAXPAYERS

1. Partnership

A partnership is a business organization owned by two or more

fund for the purpose of dividing the profits from the venture.

Types of Partnership
a. General professional partnership (GPP)
A GPP is a partnership formed for the exercise of a common profession. All
partners must belong to the same profession.

A GPP is not treated as a corporation and is not a taxable entity. It is exempt


from income tax, but the partners are taxable in their individual capacity with
respect to their share in the income of the partnership.

b. Business partnership

construction projects or engaging in petroleum, coal, geothermal and others
energy operations pursuant to an operating consortium agreement under a
service contract with the Government.

Similar to a GDP, this type of joint venture is not treated as a corporation


and is tax –exempt on its regular income, but their ventures are taxable their
share in the net income of the joint venture.

b. Taxable joint ventures


All other joint ventures are taxable as corporations.
3. Co-ownership

A co-ownership is joint ownership of a property formed for the


purpose preserving the same and / or dividing its income.

A co- ownership that is limited to property preservation or


income collections is not a taxable entity and is exempt but the
co-owners are taxable on the share on the income of the co-
owned property.

The issue of international double taxation

The rule on extraterritorial taxation on


resident citizens and domestic corporations
exposes these taxpayers to double taxation.
However, the NIRC allows a tax credit for
taxes paid in foreign countries. In fact,
resident’s citizen and domestic corporations
pay minimal taxes in the Philippines on their
foreign income because of the tax credit.
Situs of Income

The situs of income is the place of taxation of income. It is the


jurisdiction that has the authority to impose tax upon the
income.

Situs of income vs. Source of income

Situs of income should be differentiated from the source of


income. The latter pertains to the activity or property that
produces the income.

Situs is important in determining whether or not an income is


taxable in the Philippines. Situs is particularly important to
taxpayers taxable only on income within. However, it is also
important to taxpayers taxable on global income for purposes
of the computation of the foreign tax credit.
