What is Withholding Tax Types?

Withholding tax is a system where the payor (the employer or business) deducts a portion of an income payment before it is released to the recipient. In the Philippines, this applies to two major categories:

- Employee Compensation: Taxes deducted from salaries and wages.
- Business Transactions (EWT): Taxes deducted from payments to suppliers, lessors (rent), or professional service providers.

By acting as a withholding agent, businesses help the BIR collect taxes efficiently while ensuring that both their staff and their vendors remain compliant with local tax laws.

Deduct the correct tax percentage from employee salaries or supplier payments (based on current BIR tax tables and EWT rates).
2
Remit
Submit the total collected taxes to the BIR on time using the appropriate monthly or quarterly forms.
3
Report
Issue the necessary tax certificates to the recipient, such as BIR Form 2307 for suppliers or Form 2316 for employees.
