  • 0605

  • 1701A

  • 1701

  • 1701Q

  • 2551Q

How much can I declare in my tax filing?

You are responsible for the income declaration per quarter. We will base the income to be declared on the official receipts you issue to your clients.

Which Tax Rate Option should I choose?

Everyone will be at 8% tax rate unless otherwise requested via email at connect@beppo.com

Why would I choose 8% Tax over Graduated Tax Rate?

  • The 8% tax is generally preferred for professionals/freelancers or those engaged in the sale of services where business expenses are normally minimal.

  • The taxpayer availing of the 8% tax gets to enjoy simplified taxation. He does not need to pay separate income tax and percentage tax, as the 8% tax rate answers for both taxes. He also does not need to account for various expenses when computing taxes. If the self-employed individual is earning purely business income, he simply needs to add up his gross sales or receipts, deduct the non-taxable P250,000, and multiply the difference with the 8% to arrive at his tax payable to the BIR. It’s that simple.

  • The 8% tax rate is imposed on the gross sales or receipts; no deductions for business expenses are allowed.

At which income level am I taxable?

Any taxable income above P 250,000.00.

Do I need to file tax returns for those months or quarters where I don’t have income?

Yes, zero-filing tax returns must still be filed for quarters where no income was earned. Failure to do so shall result in penalties for non/late filing.

I have children/dependents. Will there be any tax considerations?

The TRAIN Law has brought about a new exemption where the first P250,000 in taxable income would be exempt from taxes.

I receive 2307s from one or some of my clients. What do I do with those?

  • Form 2307 is considered as income tax prepayments resulting from taxes withheld by your clients on your behalf. The withheld taxes, if any, become tax credits against your income tax during the quarterly and annual income tax return.

  • If you have any, upload them to the designated folder in Google Drive so we can apply them to your Income Tax Returns.

What payment channels are available for tax dues?

Payment channels available are:

  • Paymaya

  • UnionBank

  • Debit Cards (Mastercard, Visa, JCB)

  • Credit Cards

Tax Confirmation Receipts – How will I get them?

  • All copies of successfully filed tax returns can be accessed from within the app. You may also chat with the team from within the app in case your tax return does not reflect in your account right away.

Books of Accounts

How can you help me with my Books of Accounts?

  • We shall give the report to you once a year (unless you want it quarterly) for you to enter in your manual books.

  • Stamping of the books would depend on the RDO. It could be at the end of the year, or if the books have been fully utilized already (10 pages left)

Who should keep my Books of Accounts?

Your Books of Accounts should always be in your possession, but we shall give a report to you once a year (unless you want it quarterly) for you to enter in your manual books.
