Good to know: Expanded withholding tax is taken by the PAYOR from a payment to a supplier and remitted to the BIR; the supplier gets BIR Form 2307 and credits it against income tax. It is computed on the amount WITHOUT the 12% VAT. Rates used (RR 2-98 as amended by RR 11-2018): professionals, talent and commission agents 5% (individual with gross income of ₱3,000,000 or less in the year) or 10% (above ₱3,000,000); 10% or 15% for corporations (up to or above ₱720,000); rent 5%; contractors 2%; top withholding agents 1% on goods and 2% on services. This is different from the tax withheld from an employee’s salary. Rules checked November 10, 2026. The BIR and your accountant has the final word — check your official record or payslip.
