The assumed Withholding tax percentage in the 13th-month pay run is currently 35% which is based Train Law Tax table's highest fixed tax rate.
Here's the Tax Basis in 13th month Payroll run:
- Exemption Threshold:
- The 13th-month pay, along with other bonuses and Deminimis benefits exceeding the threshold, is tax-exempt up to PHP 90,000 in a calendar year.
- Taxable Portion:
- In Sprout Payroll, If the total 13th-month pay and other bonuses exceed PHP 90,000, the excess amount will be subject to income tax and will follow the Train Law Tax Table's highest fixed tax rate
If an employee's 13th-month pay is PHP 70,000, and their other bonuses amount to PHP 30,000, the total will be PHP 100,000.
- The first PHP 90,000 will be tax-exempt.
- The remaining PHP 10,000 will be subject to tax based on a 35% fixed tax rate. Or 10,000 x 35% = 3,500
- The 35% fixed tax rate is only applicable on the 13th-month Payroll run. For 13th-month Adjustments uploaded via other Payroll run types, the tax rate is based on the Payroll setup either Normal Tax Table, Annual or Pre-annual tax.
Please note that tax will be recalculated in the Annualization using the tax table on Train Law Tax Table version 2023.
However, if you have expected withholding tax or wish to align the tax percentage based on the employee's income bracket, the 13th-month payroll run has no option to upload manual adjustments or select a specific tax rate. You can follow these steps instead:
1. Create an Adjustment run. Government contribution and Tax should be off.
2. Upload the expected 13th month Pay amount or the system generated the 13th month as 13th month Adjustment. How to Set Up a One-Time Adjustment using Mass Upload (Excel File)
3, In the same Adjustment run, upload the expected Withholding tax, using the Withholding tax one-time adjustment.
It's important to note that if you have processed the 13th-month run, you need to delete this Payroll to avoid double entries in reports.
