one of my client is an international airlines (carrier of passenger). monthly we pay for the overtime services of different government agencies serving at the international airport, we have a problem with one of the agency cause they charge my client with overtime services plus meals plus transpo fixed amount for a number of personel. now we withheld 15% on the total amount but they only want to withheld on the overtimes services only, excluding the meals and transpo. i try to explain to them that the whole amount is subject to 15% tax cause it is a fixed amount per personnel its not reimbursement. they want a provision with the BIR regarding meals and transpo.can you help me site the ruling of BIR?

Under Revenue Regulations No. 2-98, as amended, Section 2.57.2(K) states that:
"(K) Additional income payments to government personnel from importer, shipping and airline companies, or their agents. - On gross additional payments by importers, shipping and airline companies, or their agents to government personnel for overtime services as authorized by law - Fifteen percent (15%)

For this purpose, the importers, shipping and airline companies or their agents, shall be the withholding agents of the Government;"

It can be gleaned from the said regulations that only overtime services are subject to the 15% withholding tax. The government agency is right on their contention that reimbursement for meals and transportation are not subject to withholding tax.
