Taxation in the Philippines

Taxes imposed at the national level are collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), while those imposed at the local level (i.e., provincial, city, municipal, barangay) are collected by a local treasurer's office.

Citizens of the Philippines and resident aliens must pay taxes for all income they have derived from various sources, which include, but are not limited to:

[3] Interest income from a depository bank under the expanded foreign currency deposit system is taxed at the rate of 15%.

The total value of gifts made in a calendar year shall be taxed at a flat rate of 6%.

[2][3] One of main sources of revenues of the local government units is the real property tax, which is a tax imposed on all types of real properties including lands, buildings, improvements, and machinery.
