About this market
Market context
Indirect tax in the Philippines encompasses taxes imposed on consumption, goods, and services, rather than directly on income or profits. Professionals in this field focus on compliance, advisory, and planning related to VAT, Percentage Tax, Excise Tax, and Documentary Stamp Tax.
The primary indirect tax is the Value-Added Tax (VAT), a 12% tax on the sale of goods, properties, and services, and on the importation of goods, administered by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Certain businesses not subject to VAT may be liable for Percentage Tax, typically 1% to 3% of gross sales or receipts for non-VAT registered persons below the VAT threshold (currently PHP 3 million). Documentary Stamp Tax (DST) is imposed on documents, instruments, loan agreements, and papers evidencing transactions. Excise taxes apply to specific goods like alcohol, tobacco, petroleum, automobiles, and non-essential goods.
