About the tax regime in The Philippines

The Philippines imposes moderate tax burden on both resident and nonresident companies. Corporate income tax is levied at 30%, with a lower rate of 10% for regional holding entities. Standard VAT rate is low at 12% with full exemption on certain sales.

Withholding tax on both dividend and royalties payments to nonresident companies is levied at 30%. However, this rate can be minimized under applicable double tax treaties. The Philippines boast an extended network of 40 double taxation treaties.
