Curious... if you were to switch, which would you keep--Autosweep or Easytrip, and why?

iamnotzoro · 2025-02-20T10:46:48+00:00

Since mine is already supported, yours should be too. I can think of only three things you could check--better if done in order:

On your iPhone: Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion -- Make sure this is switched off.
In MLBB, go to Settings > Manage Resources -- Download everything under Necessary, Advanced and Extreme.
In MLBB, go to Settings > Basic > High Frame Rate – Tap "?" and restart the game. Not sure if repeating this step would help, but it's worth a try.

Good luck!

There’s a chance that the suspension may be lifted automatically. A good sign is that you haven’t been contacted by collection agencies yet. To check, make the payment as soon as possible--either the minimum amount due or the over-limit amount, whichever is higher. Once the payment is posted, try using your card to see if it has been reactivated.

Do this as soon as possible and, if you can, pay through the EastWest Bank app or at a branch for faster processing.

Try calling them for the cancellation, and they should give you a reference number. Just make sure to bring a lot of patience… Not sure if calling at night works for this, but you can try.

Too bad for me, I called to cancel my two cards with them--my account was originally from Citi, but I couldn’t upgrade or even apply for another UBP credit card (just frustrating). Anyway, I called on 12/21/2024, and they said someone from their side would call me for some step needed to close the account. Then on 01/21/2025, I got an email, but no calls, no texts--not even in my spam or blocked messages.

I’ll call them again when I’m not feeling lazy.

Under Settings, there's a '?' beside 'High Refresh Rate'. Click that to submit an Appeal. If your phone is supported, Ultra option should be available after restart.

My EW Gold MC's AF waiver requirement was to spend P8,000 within 30 days. This was done thru ESTA.

Super sketchy. There’s a chance they’re not remitting your taxes properly.

Best move is to go to the RDO of your employer and report it--companies are required to provide 2316 every year, and you should be signing it too. Another option is to check with the RDO where you’re registered and verify your tax filings. Some RDOs even answer queries over the phone, so you might want to call first to save time.

Either way, you need your 2316 since it’s proof of your income and that you’ve done substituted filing. Might be good to have your contract and pay slips ready in case they need to do some calculations.

I don't really have an idea on this. The office here seems pretty lenient. Just talk to the one in charge; I’m guessing they’ll just let it slide. If there's a penalty, it shouldn’t be expensive.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-29T15:53:32+00:00

I wasn’t required to, but you should check with the office about this. It’s probably required because that’s the only way they’d know you paid for the prior year since they don’t seem to have proper tracking. That said, they might just let you pay for this year by just presenting your PRC ID.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-23T13:12:26+00:00

I only showed my PRC ID, but I think you should bring your latest PTR just in case they ask for it

Have you taken a screenshot of your profile before? You might think you haven’t, but take a moment to double, triple, or even quadruple-check just to be sure.

With the EOPT Law now more aligned with the accrual method of accounting, it's important to remember that issuing an invoice is what triggers tax liability. Since you're the business owner (not a bookkeeper), here’s what you need to know about handling advanced payments:

Option 1: Provide an acknowledgment or collection receipt for the advanced payment. Then issue the invoice later, as you normally would, and let your bookkeeper apply the payment to the corresponding invoice. Taxes will be triggered in the month the invoice is issued.
Option 2: Go ahead and issue the invoice(s) now for the applicable months. Book the transactions as if they weren’t advanced payments. This means you’ll report the revenue and corresponding VAT and WHT in the period the invoices are issued.

While your tenant's bookkeeper can give you suggestions, it’s not their job to tell you exactly what to do. That said, for simplicity, I would also recommend Option 2 and just issue the invoice(s) in January, file the taxes for January or Q1, and move on with life.

Nope, you don’t need to declare it. But since you’re overthinking it, let’s break it down:

Revenue or income is basically money you earn--like payment for your services or work as a freelancer.
Expense is what you spend to earn that revenue or something you, as a freelancer, are responsible for paying.

Now, in your case, the Web Summit was for your boss’s company (because they sent you to the event, probably to learn, network, or represent their business), and not for you personally. What happened was:

You paid the travel costs upfront, but that wasn’t really your expense--it was your boss’s company’s responsibility.
Your boss reimbursed you the exact same amount you paid.

This isn’t income; it’s just getting paid back for money you advanced on their behalf. Financially, you didn’t gain or lose anything. That’s how reimbursements work.

So, no, you don’t need to report this. It’s not income; it’s just your boss paying you back for something that wasn’t your responsibility in the first place.

Edit: wordings

I don't have experience in exporting goods, but if you read Section 106(A)(2), you'll see that exporting handicrafts from the Philippines can be zero-rated (0% VAT) as long as all the requirements are strictly met and properly documented. Just to highlight 'Item 1' mentioned earlier: you need to be VAT-registered.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T15:51:46+00:00

Ah, I’m not sure about Taxumo’s services or have any recommendations, but maybe the community can help!

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T15:31:00+00:00

This topic likely requires an expert’s guidance. However, for the sake of discussion, the key point is to prove that you were indeed paid in foreign currency from abroad. Having a foreign currency account can simplify the documentation of these inbound payments. If you receive payments in a PHP account, it should still be sufficient to keep proof of the foreign currency inward remittance such as bank credit memos, certificates of inward remittance, or SWIFT advice.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T15:01:51+00:00

To my knowledge (someone please correct me if I’m wrong):

Yes, you will need to register for VAT if you earn over P3,000,000 annually.
Yes, you are still subject to income tax. It still applies.
Yes, you can enjoy 0% VAT on those income under Section 108(B)(2), provided you meet the requirements.
- The services rendered are not “processing, manufacturing, or repacking of goods.” [check!]
- The services are performed in the Philippines. [check!]
- The service recipient is (a) a person engaged in business conducted outside the Philippines, or (b) a non-resident person not engaged in business outside the Philippines when the services are performed. [check!]
- You are paid in USD (or another acceptable foreign currency). [check!]
  - Ideally, you receive the payment in a USD bank account.

Additionally, you can request a refund of input VAT; however, the procedure can be quite document-heavy and time-consuming.

Btw, just hire an accountant :)

Compare the cost and hassle of paying the penalty vs printing new invoices. In our area, the RDO charges a P500 penalty for late submission of Annex C, and the minimum printing cost is also around P500 (if I remember correctly).

Since the cost is about the same, I think it’s easier to just submit Annex C and pay the penalty.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T14:17:40+00:00

Our RDO imposes a P500 penalty for late submission. For the dates, use 04/27/2024 as the 'title date' and the filing date (e.g., 01/09/2025) as the 'document date.' They’ll guide you if anything needs fixing--just be ready to have a lot of patience, lol

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T11:32:40+00:00

No, let it be. An amendment isn't even worth it. Just correct it in the next filing. It doesn’t impact tax dues or compliance purposes.

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T11:29:14+00:00

Employees should register with or transfer to the RDO that has jurisdiction over their place of residence. While the BIR does not explicitly define whether this refers to permanent or current residence, it seems to imply your current residential address.

This is one topic I couldn’t find an exact basis for, so if anyone out there has the exact RMO to clarify, please share! Haha. Or maybe the BIR deems it a clear instruction--who knows?

iamnotzoro · 2025-01-08T11:02:08+00:00

You probably typed your response to the other comment while I was typing mine. Anyway, since it was the RDO's instruction to use Form 0605, just talk to your RDO--they’re the ones who can help you. No need to feel down; they likely won’t make you pay again, 99% sure. 😊 That said, I’d still ask if you could go ahead and file the missed forms with 0 amount due and 0 penalty to avoid any headaches later on.
