b. Assuming subject to a preferential income tax rate of 1.5% based on a tax treaty, how much was the Philippine

1. Definition of terms
a. Offshore banking- shall refer to the conduct of banking transactions in foreign currencies involving the receipt of
funds from external sources and the utilization of such funds. (PD 1035)
b. Offshore banking unit – shall mean a branch subsidiary or affiliate of a foreign banking corporation which is duly
authorized by the Central Bank of the Philippines to transact offshore banking business in the
Philippines. (PD1035)
2. Distinction:
OBU – is a division of foreign bank which is authorized to conduct foreign currency denominated transactions.
FCDU – is a division of a domestic corporation bank. (Limited to short term foreign currency transactions)
EFCDU – may be a division of a domestic bank or a resident foreign bank to conduct banking under the expanded
foreign currency deposit system. (Allowed to both short term and long term foreign currency
denominated transactions)
*This preferential tax treatment of OBUs, however, has been removed by the CREATE Law and in Revenue Regulation No. 5-2021
issued on 8 April 2021, the Bureau of Internal Revenue notes that OBUs will be taxed as resident foreign corporations (at 25%) upon
the effectivity of the CREATE Law.
To be effectively connected it is not necessary that the income be derived from the actual operation of the
branch’s trade or business. It is sufficient that the income arises from business activity in which the branch is
engaged.
Remittance from prior year earnings is still taxable. The NIRC used the phrase “any profit remitted” without
limiting the same to current year profit remittance. The branch profit remittance tax therefore applies to remittance
of prior year earnings.
This tax only applies to a RFC which is a branch of a NRFC.
The taxable income event is not the generation of income but the remittance of income to the head office.
Therefore, BPRT can be imposed together with other income taxes applicable on direct duplicate taxation.
If the above enumerated incomes are effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the
Philippines, they will be treated as branch profits subject to BPRT upon remittance.
For purposes of branch profit remittance, income items which are not effectively connected with the conduct of
its trade or business in the Philippines are not considered branch profits.
