CORRECTION:

This is in connection with the discussion of Optional Standard Deduction on Module


4 page 73

Illustration 2. Using the Optional Standard deduction


Let us assume the same data in the preceding problem, except that the taxpayer
opted to use the optional standard deduction.
(Computation of taxable income using OSD as presented in the module)
Sales P 2,000,000
Cost of sales 800,000
Gross Income P 1,200,000
Less: Optional Standard Deduction ( 2,000,000 x 40%) 800,000
Taxable Net Income P 400,000

Correct computation should be;

Sales P 2,000,000
Less: Optional Standard Deduction ( 2,000,000 x 40%) 800,000
Taxable Net Income P 1,200,000

Based on the amendment of Republic Act. No. 9337, OSD is now applied at forty
percent (40%) of net sales without deducting cost of sales or service for individuals.

Using the individual tax table on page 64, effective January 1, 2018, Jolo’s income
tax due
would be computed as follows:
Income Tax Due
Taxable income 1,200,000
Less: lower limit of the applicable tax bracket 800,000
130,000
Excess 400,000
Multiply by incremental tax rate 30%
120,000
Income tax due (Corrected) P
250,000
With OSD, you can declare up to 40% of your gross sales/receipts (for individual
taxpayers) or gross income (for partnerships and corporations) as business
expenses, of which the remaining 60% will then be taxable.
Along with the fact that you no longer need to substantiate the 40%, taxpayer is still
required to keep records of actual business expenses as a requirement for BIR
examination purposes.

A taxpayer who elected to avail of the OSD:


 Shall signify in his/its return such intention, otherwise he/it shall be
considered as having availed himself of the itemized deduction.
 Once the election to avail of the OSD or itemized deduction signified in the
return, it shall be irrevocable for the taxable year.
 The election to claim either OSD or the itemized deduction for the taxable
year must be signified by checking the appropriate box in the income tax
return filed for the first quarter of the taxable year.
 Once the election is made, the same type of deduction must be consistently
applied for all the succeeding quarterly returns and in the final income tax
return for the taxable year.
 A taxpayer who fails to an income tax return for the first quarter of the
taxable year, shall have to claim itemized deductions for the rest of the year.
 An individual taxpayer who is entitled to and claimed OSD shall not be
required to submit with his tax return such financial statements otherwise
required under the Code.
