GENERAL PRINCIPLES
INCOME TAX
Q: What is the income tax treatment of an
OFW?
An individual citizen of the Philippines who is
working and deriving income from abroad as an
overseas contract worker is taxable only on
income from sources within the Philippines.
Thus, income arising out of overseas
employment is income from sources without the
Philippines and is exempt from income tax.
Further, income earnings from business
activities or properties of an overseas contract
worker in the Philippines are income from
sources within the Philippines and, as such, they
are subject to income tax. (RR 1-2011)
