1. Divide the gross interest income subjected to final tax for the year by 12 months:
Interest income subjected to final tax /12 months.
2. Multiply the number of months applicable to old arbitrage rate by the resulting
monthly gross interest income subjected to final tax; then, multiply the product by
the old arbitrage rate: number of months applicable x (1) x 33%
3. Multiply the number of months applicable to new arbitrage rate by the resulting
monthly gross interest income subjected to final tax; then, multiply the product by
the new arbitrage rate: number of months applicable x (1) x (20% or 0%, as the case
may be)
4. Add the computed interest arbitrage under items (2) and (3) above to get the amount
to be deducted from the interest expense claimed to arrive at the allowable interest

EXPENSE:
❑ Additional 50% deduction = P1,500,000 (50% of
P3,000,000)
❑ The P1,500,000 may be claimed as additional deduction, since
it did not exceed 10% of the direct labor wage (10% x
P20,000,000 = P2,000,000
❑ If direct labor is P10,000,000, the additional deduction may
be claimed is only P1,000,000 because limit is P1,000,000
(10% x P10,000,000 direct labor = P1,000,000)
