Freelancer tax, explained plainly (FAQ)
Ano ang pinagkaiba ng dalawa?
8% flat: one tax, 8% of everything you earn ABOVE ₱250k/year. No percentage tax, no bookkeeping gymnastics.
Graduated + 3%: regular income-tax brackets applied to your NET income (we model the optional 40% Standard Deduction), PLUS a 3% percentage tax on gross.
Kailan mas maganda ang 8%?
Usually when your expenses are LOW relative to income (pure services, minimal costs) and income sits in mid brackets. High-expense freelancers sometimes win with graduated + itemized deductions, that's why real books matter.
May limit ba ang 8% option?
Yes: it's only for self-employed professionals whose gross sales/receipts don't exceed the ₱3M VAT threshold. Good news: the first ₱250k of annual income stays exempt, you pay 8% only on the excess.
Ito na ba ang final na buwis ko?
This models the common case (40% Optional Standard Deduction, current rates). Your actual bill changes with itemized expenses, ATC withholding by clients, and local permits. Confirm with a CPA or your BIR RDO before filing.
