These hospitals typically reinvest any surplus funds back into improving patient care and expanding services. This tax exemption recognizes the important role these institutions play in promoting public health and ensures that they can continue to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to the community.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "3 years from the date of filing of the tax return or from the date of the deadline of its filing, whichever comes later." This means that the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has a maximum of 3 years to assess the tax return filed by the taxpayer. The assessment period starts either from the actual date of filing or from the deadline for filing, whichever is later. This allows the BIR enough time to review and assess the tax return for any discrepancies or errors.

    • The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy may be repeated, if necessary, until the full amount due, including all expenses is collected.

    • The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy must be done successively, first by distraint and then by levy.

    • The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy automatically covers bank deposits of a delinquent taxpayer.

    • The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy may be done only once during the taxable year.

    Correct Answer
    A. The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy may be repeated, if necessary, until the full amount due, including all expenses is collected.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The collection of a deficiency tax by distraint and levy may be repeated, if necessary, until the full amount due, including all expenses is collected." This statement is correct because the tax authorities have the authority to repeat the process of distraint and levy to collect the full amount of the deficiency tax, including any expenses incurred in the collection process. The other statements are incorrect because they either state a specific order of collection (first distraint, then levy) or make assumptions about the coverage of bank deposits or the number of times the collection can be done in a taxable year.

    Chou, as a VAT-registered person, is required to pay VAT on the importation of machines. The VAT is calculated based on the purchase price of the machines. In this case, the total purchase price of the machines is P600,000 (P100,000 + P200,000 + P300,000).

    Since Machine 3 was sold immediately after importation, it is not subject to VAT. Therefore, the VAT is only applicable to Machines 1 and 2, which have a total purchase price of P300,000 (P100,000 + P200,000).

    The VAT rate in the Philippines is 12%, so the VAT to be paid on the importation of Machines 1 and 2 is P36,000 (P300,000 * 12%).

    Therefore, the correct answer is 36,000.

    Aldous died leaving a farm land. In his will, he transferred the ownership thereof to Bruno but subject to the condition that Carmilla will have right to use the land for a period of 10 years (usufruct). In the 7th year however, Carmilla died and in Carmilla's will, he surrendered his right over the land to Bruno. Which of the the following statement is correct?

    • The transfer to Bruno is subject to donor's tax.

    • The transfer to Bruno is subject to estate tax.

    • The transfer is both an inclusion and deduction from the gross estate of Carmilla.

    • The transfer is a tax-exempt transfer.

    Correct Answer
    A. The transfer is a tax-exempt transfer.
    Explanation
    The transfer of the ownership of the farm land from Aldous to Bruno is considered a tax-exempt transfer. This is because Carmilla, who had the right to use the land for 10 years, surrendered his right over the land to Bruno. Since there is no consideration or payment involved in this transfer, it is not subject to any taxes such as donor's tax or estate tax. Therefore, the correct statement is that the transfer is a tax-exempt transfer.

    The estate tax return is generally required to be filed:

    • Within 6 months from the date of death of the decedent.

    • Within 6 months from the submission of the notice of death of the decedent.

    • Within 1 year from the date of death of the decedent.

    • Within 1 year from the date of submission of the notice of death of the decedent.

    Correct Answer
    A. Within 1 year from the date of death of the decedent.
    Explanation
    The estate tax return is generally required to be filed within 1 year from the date of death of the decedent. This allows sufficient time for the estate executor or administrator to gather all necessary information and complete the required paperwork. Filing within this timeframe ensures compliance with tax laws and avoids any penalties or interest that may be imposed for late filing.

    Correct Answer

    A VAT-registered persons had the following data for April 2019 (VAT excluded): I.  Export sale of feeds for animals:      i. For human consumption                      P                     1,500,000      ii. For fighting cocks                                                        500,000 II. Domestic sale of feeds for animals:       i. For human consumption                                               750,000      ii. For race horses.                                                           250,000 III. Input tax which cannot be directly attributed to any sales      100,000    The output tax for April is:

    • 30,000

    • 90,000

    • 60,000

    • 120,000

    Correct Answer
    A. 30,000
    Explanation
    The output tax for April is 30,000. This can be calculated by summing up the VAT on the export sales and the VAT on the domestic sales, and then subtracting the input tax which cannot be directly attributed to any sales. The VAT on export sales is calculated by adding the VAT amounts for feeds for human consumption and feeds for fighting cocks, which is 1,500,000 + 500,000 = 2,000,000. The VAT on domestic sales is calculated by adding the VAT amounts for feeds for human consumption and feeds for race horses, which is 750,000 + 250,000 = 1,000,000. Subtracting the input tax of 100,000 from the total VAT on sales gives us 2,000,000 + 1,000,000 - 100,000 = 2,900,000. Finally, 12% of 2,900,000 is equal to 348,000, which is rounded down to the nearest thousand, giving us an output tax of 30,000.

    Statement 1: The authority of the President to fix tariff rates, import, and export quotas needs to have a law enacted by congress. Statement 2: The power of tax of the local government unit is merely a delegated power.

    • Only the first statement is true

    • Only the first statement is false

    • Both statements are true

    • Both statements are false

    Correct Answer
    A. Both statements are true
    Explanation
    Both statements are true. The first statement states that the authority of the President to fix tariff rates, import, and export quotas needs to have a law enacted by Congress. This is true because the President does not have the power to unilaterally set these rates and quotas without the approval of Congress. The second statement states that the power of tax of the local government unit is merely a delegated power. This is also true because local government units derive their power to impose taxes from laws enacted by higher levels of government, such as the national or state government.

    • Only the first statement is false

    • Both statements are true

    • Both statements are false

    Both statements are true. Statement 1 states that a province, city, or municipality within Metro Manila can impose an annual tax of 1% on the assessed value of real property for the special education fund. Statement 2 clarifies that this special education fund is separate from the basic real property tax. Therefore, both statements are accurate and provide information about the taxation system related to the special education fund.

    Amounts paid for overseas dispatch, message, or conversations originating from the Philippines are subject to:

    • 3% franchise tax to be paid by the service provider

    • 10% overseas communications tax to be paid by the service provider

    • 10% overseas communications tax to be paid by the person availing the service

    • 3% franchise tax to be paid by the person availing the service

    Correct Answer
    A. 10% overseas communications tax to be paid by the person availing the service
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 10% overseas communications tax to be paid by the person availing the service. This means that the individual or company who is using the overseas dispatch, message, or conversations originating from the Philippines is responsible for paying the 10% tax. The service provider is not responsible for paying this tax, but they may be responsible for paying a separate 3% franchise tax.

    This is not part of the gross estate:

    • Conjugal property.

    • Community property.

    • Share of the surviving spouse.

    • Exclusive property of the surviving spouse.

    Correct Answer
    A. Exclusive property of the surviving spouse.
    Explanation
    The exclusive property of the surviving spouse is not included in the gross estate because it is solely owned by the surviving spouse and not considered part of the deceased person's estate. The gross estate typically includes all the assets and property owned by the deceased person at the time of their death, including conjugal property, community property, and the share of the surviving spouse. However, the exclusive property of the surviving spouse is excluded as it is not considered part of the deceased person's estate.

    • P1,823,000

    Correct Answer
    A. P1,823,000
    Explanation
    The gross taxable compensation income is P1,823,000.

Other amounts such as the employee's share to SSS, PHIC, and HDMF, 13th month pay, employee of the year bonus, and productivity incentive are not included in the calculation of gross taxable compensation income. The income from the spa and massage business, as well as the interest income and dividends, are not relevant to the calculation of the individual's gross taxable compensation income.

    If the taxpayer chose to be taxed at the 8% option, the tax due and still payable is:

    • 229,600

    • 209,600

    • 201,600

    • 206,600

    Correct Answer
    A. 201,600
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 201,600. This is because the taxpayer chose to be taxed at the 8% option, which means they will pay 8% of their taxable income as tax. To calculate the tax due, we need to multiply the taxable income by the tax rate. If the tax due is 201,600, it means the taxpayer's taxable income is 2,520,000 (201,600 / 0.08).
