Dear Atty,

Is gratuity pay taxable or not?
I'm a bit confused on the BIR rulings:

http://www.bir.gov.ph/taxcode/1638.htm
>>> It is non taxable (with provision)

http://www.bir.gov.ph/taxinfo/tax_withld.htm
>>> It is non taxable

But our company deducted a w/tax due to provision on gross income (http://www.bir.gov.ph/taxcode/1638.htm)that I have to meet the 2 criterias:

1.Service in the company not less than 10 years: QUALIFIED
2.Note less than 50 years of age: NOT QUALIFIED

And also in addition that I resigned from the company.

I'm hoping for your clarification re. this matter.

Thank you!

my first question is whether this supposed gratuity falls within what is defined as gratuity under the tax code. read it carefully.

Thanks for your reply.

The company said it is a gratuity pay for long years of service, they mentioned that it is like a financial assistance.

then i would argue that if it is not given upon retirement or separation, then it is just another kind of bonus which is taxable.
