What about withholding tax as a Filipino online worker?


Your employer will not withhold any tax from your salary or compensation because they are not Philippine-based employers. You are a foreign-based staff from the perspective of your employer. As such, tax in the Philippines is your sole responsibility, and your foreign-based employer is not a withholding tax agent of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).   

This means:

  • VirtualStaff.ph will NOT withhold any tax from your salary.
  • Your employer will NOT withhold any tax from your pay.
  • As a Filipino worker, it is your sole responsibility to file taxes or not with the BIR in the Philippines.
