ACTIVITY

1. Glenda filed a libel case against JL for putting shame on him thru unfounded and
defamatory remarks. Glenda was hospitalized due to the incident. As a result, JL
was ordered by the court to pay the following:
• Hospital dues of P120,000;
• Actual damages of P50,000;
• Exemplary damages of P60,000;
• Loss of income amounting to P100,000; and
• Moral damages of P115,000
How much should be reported by Glenda as taxable income from the incident? Explain.
 Income loss of P100,000 was experienced. Since it constitutes her whole
income, it is taxable.

2. A taxpayer worked as an audit manager of a hospital for several years. When he


retired at age 60, he received retirement pay equivalent to two (2) months' salary
for every year of service as provided in the hospital's BIR-approved retirement
plan. The hospital's Board of Directors felt that the hospital should give the retired
employee more than what was provided for in the hospital's retirement plan, given
his loyalty and invaluable services for several years. Hence, it is resolved to pay
him a gratuity of P2,000,000 over and above his retirement pay.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue taxed the P2,000,000 as part of the gross
compensation income of the retired employee, who protested that it was excluded from
income because it was a retirement pay and a gift.
Should the additional P2,000,000 received by the retired employee be excluded from income?
Yes or No? Why?
 No, the P2,000,000 is a gratuity and is consequently taxed because it is
viewed as a component of compensation.

3. In 2018, Bruno obtained a life insurance policy on his own life in the amount of
P2,000,000, designating ½ of the policy to his wife, Perla, as an irrevocable
beneficiary. Bruno designated his son, Pedro, as a revocable beneficiary for the
remaining 50% of the policy. On September 2021, Bruno died, and his wife and
son went to the insurance company to collect the policy's proceeds.
Are the proceeds of the insurance subject to income tax on the part of Perla and Pedro for their
respective shares? Yes or No? Why?
 No, until they are used to generate income, insurance funds are not subject to
taxation. This is due to the fact that while the proceeds of P2,000,000 are not
taxable, the insurance income they get will be.
