*Allowable tax credit paid outside the Philippines is lower than tax limit or actual tax paid. The tax credit is computed as
follows:

Actual foreign taxes paid:
Interest (P75,000 x 20%)
Compensation (P125,000 x 10%)

Note: Nonresident citizens are taxable only on income derived within the Philippines.
Taxpayer is a resident alien. Solution is the same as nonresident citizen.
Taxpayer is a nonresident alien engaged in trade or business in the Philippines.
The taxpayer cannot be regarded as doing business in the Philippines because he has no business income in the
Philippines.
If the taxpayer has stayed more than 180 days in the Philippines, he is regarded as doing business. The computation of
his net income tax payable in the Philippines will be the same as in number 2 under the assumption that his country is
granting the same privilege of reciprocity to nonresident Filipino doing business in that foreign country.
Taxpayer is a nonresident alien not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines.
Nonresident aliens are subject to tax of 25% based on their gross income derived within the Philippines. In our
illustration, let us assume that the source of income has been deducted with 25% tax on the income given to the
taxpayer - that is, the amount shown in the problem is net of 25% final tax.
The income tax of Mr. Ramsay Colorado would be:
Salaries- within (P180,000/75%)
Commissions- within (P57,000/ 75%)
Interest income within (P50,000/ 75%)

Note: In computing the income tax, a fractional part of a peso less than P0.50 shall be disregarded. If the fractional part
is P0.50 or more, its shall be rounded up to P1.00 (R.A. 590).
