Are you sure you have understood it corect? WHO say it is like that?

Among the income payments being subjected to expanded withholding tax (EWT) are its payments to hospitals and medical practitioners who rendered medical services to PHIC members. Under existing issuances, PHIC’s payments to medical practitioners are subjected to EWT rates of 10 percent or 15 percent whichever is appropriate, based on the medical practitioner’s declared gross income in a year. More specifically, the rate shall be 10 percent if the gross income of the professional does not exceed P720,000 in a year while the rate shall be 15 percent if the professional’s gross income exceeds P720,000 in a year.

Kailangan ko po ang inyong advice. Yung kapatid ko po, sabi nila may tax deficiency on PhilHealth reimbursement.
Supposedly, my sister will receive reimbursement from PhilHealth. Siya po ay isang doktor sa lokal na ospital noong 2011. Sabi po sa kanya kailangan nya po mag bigay ng affidavit na pumapayag po siyang bayaran at i-withhold sa kanya ay 30%.

Ang pagkakaalam ko po ang withholding tax sa mga doktor ay 10%-15%. Kaya po ako nagtataka bakit ganoon kalaki ung kanilang ikakaltas sa aking kapatid.

Maari nyo po ba kaming tulungan, ano po ba ang dapat gawin?

As of 2012 (based on PHIC 2006 guidelines):
