A. In General
Taxable Income The essential difference between capital and income is that capital is a fund; and
income is a flow. Capital is wealth, while income is the service of wealth.
Property is a tree, income is the fruit. Labor is a tree, income is the fruit. Capital is atree, income the fruit.
Income means profits or gains. (Madrigal v Rafferty)
Income may be defined as the amount of money coming to a person or corporation
within a specified time, whether as payment for services, interest or profit from
investment.
o A mere advance in the value of property of a person or a corporation in no
sense constitutes the income specified in the law. Such advance constitutes
and can be treated merely as an increase in capital. (Fisher v Trinidad) Cash dividends is taxed as income because it has been realized/received, while stock
dividends is not taxed as income because it is merely inchoate as it is a mereanticipation of income (it becomes income once you sell it).
o One is an actual receipt of profits; the other is a receipt of a representation of
the increased value of the assets of a corporation. (Fisher v Trinidad)
When dealing with money or property, the questions you should ask are:o Is this capital or is this income?
o Has it been realized/received or is it merely inchoate?

determining the basis of the OSD.

receipts shall be determined in accordance with the said acceptable method of

o It must be taken by the taxpayer for himself and his family.
If married, only the spouse claiming the additional exemption for dependents can avail
of this.
Exclusions and deductions (discussion from De Leons book, see also Sec 61-64 of RR 2) Exclusions are incomes that are exempt from the tax. They are not to be included in the
tax return unless information regarding it is specifically called for.o Examples:
! Life insurance proceeds paid to beneficiaries upon the death of the
insured.
! Value of the property acquired by inheritance or donation, because it is
subject to estate or donors tax.
! Retirement benefits, pensions, etc, received by government officials and
employees from the GSIS and SSS in recognition of their services. So with
retirement benefits of private firms, under certain conditions.
! Prizes and awards made primarily in recognition of religious, charitable,
scientific, educational, artistic, etc, competitions and tournaments.
! Christmas bonus, 13th month pay, productivity incentives, and otherbenefits received up to a max of P30,000.
!
Gains from the sale or retirement of bonds or other certificates of
indebtedness with a maturity of more than 5 years. Deductions are items or amounts which the law allows to be deducted under certain
conditions from the gross income of a taxpayer in order to arrive at the taxable income.
Both reduce actual gross income although exclusions are not included in the income tax
return.
Some general principals governing deductions include:
o The taxpayer seeking a deduction must point to some specific provision of the
statute authorizing the deduction; and
o He must be able to prove that he is entitled to the deduction authorized or
allowed. They are allowed only where there is a clear provision in the statute for the
deduction claimed. Taxable gross income is affected by exclusions because the latter are omitted from the
former and are not reported on the income tax return but is not affected by deductions
because they are subtracted after gross income is determined and are reported on thereturn.
Kinds of deductions:
1. Deductions from compensation income.
2. Deductions from business/professional income.
3. Deductions from corporate income.
4. Special deductions
5. Deductions allowed by special laws.

b. The source is outside the Philippines. Are they liable for sources from outsidethe Philippines? Yes! Citizens are taxed worldwide!
c. Whats the specific tax rate? Hmm since its not in any of the charts, but
they still have to be taxed, then the income they derive from dividends from
foreign corporations will be considered in computing the tax rate based on thetax calendar of Sec 24(a)
2. Resident aliens
a. Yes, its income.
b. The source is outside the Philippines. Are they liable for sources from outsidethe Philippines? No! They arent taxed worldwide.
3. Nonresident aliens engaged in trade or business

o Joint venture or consortium formed for the purpose of undertaking construction
projects, or engaging in petroleum, coal, geothermal and other energy operations

the government. (The JV should NOT be incorporated.)
Remember your partnership lessons! (AFISCO and Pascual cases) All co-owernships are not deemed unregistered partnerships.(Obillos v CIR)
The moment inheritance shares are used as part of the common assets to be used in
making profits, it is considered part of the taxable income of an unregistered
partnership. (Ona v CIR)
Requisites of a JV:1. Contribution by each party
2.
Profits are shared among the parties
3. There is joint right of mutual control over the subject matter4. There is a single business transaction rather than a general or continuous transaction
(BIR Ruling 317-92, in this case, the first agreement of the two parties to construct the
6750 Bldg was not taxable because they had not derived income/profits from it. the
construction of the building was mere return of the capital which they shelled out.
However, once the two corporations were placed under one sole management to operate
the business affairs of the two, the JV was taxable separate from the two corporations
comprising it. The distribution by the JV to the two constituent corporations was not
taxable because it was considered intra-corporate dividends.)
On partnerships
Two kinds of partnership, for income tax purposes:
o Partnerships NOT subject to income tax, ie
! General professional partnership
