How can we help?
Getting Started with Outsourcing
Begin by identifying the specific tasks, roles, or services you want to outsource. Once you have your requirements, contact Remote Philippines so we can assess your needs, propose suitable staffing solutions, and match you with qualified talent. We’ll guide you through onboarding and ensure a smooth start.
You can reach us through our official website, email, or social media channels. We’ll schedule a consultation to understand your goals, present candidate options, and finalize your outsourcing agreement. From there, we’ll handle recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing support.
Tax Compliance
To compute your income tax, start with your taxable income (gross income minus allowable deductions and exemptions) and apply the current Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) tax rates for your bracket. You can use the BIR’s official tax table or their online tax calculator.
As of the current TRAIN Law implementation, the following annual tax rates apply based on your total taxable income for the year:
- ₱250,000 and below: 0%
- Over ₱250,000 to ₱400,000: 15% of the excess over ₱250,000
- Over ₱400,000 to ₱800,000: ₱22,500 + 20% of the excess over ₱400,000
- Over ₱800,000 to ₱2,000,000: ₱102,500 + 25% of the excess over ₱800,000
- Over ₱2,000,000 to ₱8,000,000: ₱402,500 + 30% of the excess over ₱2,000,000
- Over ₱8,000,000: ₱2,202,500 + 35% of the excess over ₱8,000,000
For employees, taxes are withheld monthly by the employer based on this annual computation, so by year-end, your total tax paid matches the yearly rate.
Common deductions include personal and additional exemptions (for qualified dependents), SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG contributions, and expenses directly related to earning income (for self-employed or professionals). You may choose between itemized deductions or the optional standard deduction (OSD) of 40% of gross income.
You can file your ITR through the BIR’s eFPS (Electronic Filing and Payment System), eBIRForms, or manually at your Revenue District Office (RDO). Submit the correct form (BIR Form 1700, 1701, or 1701A) along with supporting documents before the deadline.
For individuals, the annual income tax return deadline is April 15 of the following year. Quarterly tax filings may also apply to self-employed individuals.
Self-employed persons must register with the BIR, issue official receipts, maintain accounting records, file quarterly and annual income tax returns, and pay percentage tax or VAT, along with mandatory contributions.
Visit your local BIR office and submit the required application form (BIR Form 1901 or 1902, depending on your status) along with valid IDs and other supporting documents. You may also apply online through the BIR eRegistration system.
Bonuses and incentives are generally taxable if they exceed the ₱90,000 annual tax-exempt ceiling for 13th-month pay and other benefits under the TRAIN Law.
Under the TRAIN Law, personal and additional exemptions for dependents have been removed. However, certain benefits like PhilHealth coverage may still apply to dependents.
Penalties include fines, surcharges, interest charges, and possible imprisonment, depending on the severity of the violation.
Benefits Compliance
These include membership and contributions to the Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund), and the Employees’ Compensation Program (ECP).
SSS provides financial protection for private-sector employees and self-employed individuals in cases of retirement, disability, sickness, maternity, and death.
PhilHealth offers health insurance coverage for hospitalization, surgeries, and other medical services.
Pag-IBIG provides housing loans, savings programs, and other financial assistance for members.
The ECP gives compensation and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related sickness, injury, or death.
Yes, they are mandatory for all employees in the private sector, regardless of employment status, including contractual and part-time workers.
They are funded through monthly contributions shared by employers and employees, as prescribed by law.
Employers may face fines, legal action, and payment of retroactive contributions with interest.
Employees should regularly check their contribution records via the official portals of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG. Report discrepancies to HR or the relevant agency.
