Percentage tax calculator
Non-VAT businesses and professionals pay a percentage tax on their gross sales or receipts every quarter.
The rate is 3% since 1 July 2023, after the temporary 1% rate of the CREATE law ended.
How it's calculated
- Take your gross sales or receipts for the quarter, before expenses.
- Multiply by 3%. That is the tax for the quarter.
- It applies when your yearly gross sales do not exceed ₱3,000,000.
An example
With ₱250,000 of receipts in a quarter, the percentage tax is ₱7,500.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays the 3% percentage tax?
Corporations, self-employed individuals and professionals whose gross sales or receipts do not exceed ₱3,000,000. Cooperatives and those who chose the 8% income tax are not covered.
Why was it 1% before?
The CREATE law lowered it to 1% for a period that ended on 30 June 2023. Sales from 1 July 2023 are taxed at 3% again.
Do I still pay percentage tax with the 8% option?
No. The 8% income tax replaces both the graduated income tax and the percentage tax.
