A minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) of 2% is imposed upon any domestic
corporation beginning on the fourth (4th) taxable year of business operations
The income tax due shall be the MCIT or NT, whichever is higher
Excess of MCIT over the NT tax shall be carried forward & credited against normal
income tax for the 3 succeeding years
o 2006 ITL = 70,000 (NT) less 3,000 (excess MCIT carryforward) = P 65,000

P 10,000,000 3,900,000 200,000 (NOLCO) = 5,900,000 x 30% = P

900,000
Gross income (USA)

NT = (P 900,000 + 560,000 252,000 288,000) x 30% = P

276,000 (higher)
(2)
(3)

MCIT = P 900,000 x 2% = P 18,000

NT = (P 900,000 252,000) x 30% = P 194,400 (higher)
P 900,000 x 30% = P 270,000
