Helli everyone. I just realized I wasn't able to add signature on my previous submissions. Will it cause any penalties? Thank you for anyone who will answer.
Hello everyone. Are you still experiencing the same error as of August 14, 6AM. I still couldn't file and tomorrow is the deadline. I already tried reinstalling the application but it did not help. Tried turning off all firewall but still the same issue has been occurring.
Hello. I'm currently looking for a budget friendly monitor (below 25k) that I can use for work. I use Autocad Plant 3D, Navisworks, Point Cloud mostly. I'm not a techie person so I just did my research on google and it says that 4k monitors are great for this kind of work. I prefer 27inches monitor which I think 1440p is the sweet spot. I also don't want to give up the high refresh rate.
I'm currently looking into AOC and ASUS.

Hello everyone. I'm a freelancer/professional in general.
I filed my quarterly tax on the first week of May, no tax due for this quarter since I availed the 8% option and my income haven't exceeded 250k yet. I have overpayment since my client withhold 5% of my income.
While I was compiling my attachments to submit to eAFS last May 15, I noticed that my client mistakenly input the wrong TIN to my BIR 2307.
Is it possible that the 5% they withheld wasn't filed under my name since mali yung nasa BIR 2307?
Ang problem ko rin is nasama ko na siya sa computation and sa SAWT.
My contract with them ended so I don't have any direct contact with them na but, I emailed them asking kung tama ba yung file nila sa BIR and they haven't replied pa so I can't submit my files pa sa eAFS. As far as I know naman, until May 30 pa yung submission sa eAFS.
Paano ba workaround dito?
If mali yung file nila, they need to amend that on their side right? Then I will not do anything na since I already included it na sa filing ko.
But if they decide to not fix it, do I amend my filing? Not include it?
Please help this human. Thank you
Hi. I have a basic kindle in matcha and I wanted to get a colored e-reader.
Which would be the better choice? Kobo Libra Color or Go Color 7 (Gen 2)?
Thanks!
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to ask, I already filed my 1701Q and submitted the SAWT on esubmission email.
Although I already received the TCCR, I haven't received the validation email from esubmission.
What I usually do since last year is I submit my 1701Q, 2307s, SAWT file with the first email saying that I have submitted via email every 15th deadline. Then once I received the validation email, I submit the SAWT file with the validation email ALONE.
I just read that I am not allowed to do submitting pieces of those files and I need to submit it all at once. Is that true? Is it possible I already have open cases?
Thank you
Hi everyone.
I'm currently looking for a laptop that can support 3D modeling and drafting.
My previous company uses Dell with the specifications on the sttached photos.
We went to Megamall to check laptop and we got offered:
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 83LU0016PH
ACER Predator Helios Neo 16
ASUS ROG Strix G18
I think the internet says the minimum RAM should be 32GB so I plan to upgrade to 64GB just to make sure. Which of these would be the best choice?
I also saw on the internet that Thinkpads are better than Legion for professional engineers.
I know these are gaming laptops, but these are the ones that was offered to us when we asked about 3D modeling stuffs.
I also attached the specs of these laptops.
Hello guys. Ask ko lang, need ba lagyan ng signature yung isusubmit na pdf sa EAFS? Hindi ko kasi nilalagyan ng sign yung mga nasubmit ko nang OTR at 2307 before. May penalty ba to???
I'm currently looking for a way to lessen my tax as I foresee my income exceeding 3M next year, I'll be working for an Australian company and saw that services rendered to people outside the Philippines can claim zero rated sales? Can you please explain this? Thank you
Problem/Goal: I don't want to relocate to my husband's hometown
Context: Currently, my husband and I is located at my hometown. Dito na rin siya nagwowork even before pa ako manganak, 2 years old na yung baby namin so 2 years na kami dito nakatira. Nakabukod naman kami sa parents ko which is why peaceful naman yung buhay namin kasi kami lang sa bahay. Maganda work niya dito, kumikita siya most of the time ng 70k-80k monthly (sa province pa 'to so maganda na rin talaga, around south luzon). Nakabili na rin kami ng lupa dito which is malapit na matapos bayaran. Work from home ako as a independent consultant engineer. Recently, natapos contract ko sa isang PH private sector. Then ngayon may JO ako sa isang Australian company, around 300k sweldo monthly. So makakabili na kami sasakyan, and nabanggit ko na rin yung pagpapagawa namin ng bahay dun sa lupa kahit next year kapag nakaipon na since sayang ang rent. Ang sagot niya sakin, hindi pa daw sure. Napaisip ako bakit hindi pa sure. Hindi lang siya sumagot. Then kagabi lang, naisip ko, ah. Baka ayaw niya dito magsettle down. Gusto niya sa kanila. Which is sa north. And nung tinanong ko siya, tama ako. Kasi wala daw kaming social life dito na sabay kami nakakapag-enjoy. Mostly siya lang nakakalabas kasama kawork niya para maglaro badminton, or inom with kawork. Nandoon daw ang mga friends niya sa hometown niya. Tuwing nandoon kami, isinasama niya ako kapag lumalabas at naiiwan yung anak namin sa parents niya since doon kami nagsstay sa parents niya tuwing nasa hometown niya kami. Kapag nandito naman sa hometown ko, hindi kami nakakapagpagabi ng gala kasi ayaw ng parents ko gagabihin yung anak namin sa pag-uwi kasi alam niyo naman traditional parents sa probinsya. I think isa yun sa reason bakit gusto niya sakanila. Kasi kapag nandun, mas may freedom daw kami. Sa akin hindi ito big deal kasi busy na rin naman kami sa buhay. Kapag nandun kami sakanila, naka-leave lang naman siya sa work kaya madami siyang time. Kapag lumipat kami doon, at naghanap siya ng work na Monday to Friday, mawawalan na rin siya ng oras makipagsocialize. Kasi syempre family time. At isa ko pang concern is yung unfamiliarity, support system ko. Since hometown niya yun, family and friends niya lang kakilala ko. And parang hindi yun enough sakin. Work from home mom ako, for the most part feeling ko ma-iisolate ako at malulungkot kasi malayo na yung family or origin ko. Matanda na rin parents ko, senior citizen na. And siya lang yung mag-eenjoy kasi siya lang naman kakilala nila ever since.
When getting married, where should the husband and wife live? Of course kailangan bumukod sa parents. But whose hometown should they live?
We currently live sa hometown ko since dito na rin ung job nya before ako manganak. We're renting an apartment. Binanggit ko yung sa pagpapagawa ng bahay recently pero di pa daw sya sure kasi di pa daw nawawala sakanya magsettle down sa hometown nya
When releasing my service invoice to my Australian Client, do I write in $AUD? How about in filing taxes? Do I file my income based on the exchange rate on the day I received the payment? Thanks.
Hi everyone.
I opted for 8% at the start of the year kasi I earn below 3M as I was previously hired as independent consultant sa isang private sector here sa PH.
But recently, natapos na rin yung contract ko so I tried applying sa ibang company. I am currently in the process of being hired directly by an Australian company as a freelance/independent consultant. I will earn 300k per month so if magstart ako ng June, I think hindi pa naman siya mag-exceed unless mag-overtime ako sa work (I'm being paid an hourly rate of $40 AUD).
So I think until the end of year, hindi pa naman ako mag-exceed ng 3M so I plan to continue filing using 8% tax. But what if I happen to exceed by taking overtime sa banda banda diyan. I know hindi na ako pwede sa 8%, how do I file my taxes by then?
Please help. Thank you
Hi everyone. I'm an engineer specializing in AutoCAD Plant 3D. I can do 3d modelling, drafting and administration tasks. I'm currently residing in the Philippines but currently in the process of being hired by an engineering company in Australia. Direct hire, not outsourced by an agency or anything since I'm a registered freelancer/independent consultant myself.
They were asking about my hourly rate and I was actually not sure if I should ask for au rate or ph rate since I'm a direct hire. Au rates for engineers in australia starts 80,000 AUD yearly + superannuation, taxes. As we all know, engineer in the Philippines basically get around 40k only plus benefits. If I ask for au rate, I can get around 250k monthly, that I'm not sure is reasonable.
Is that reasonable as a direct hire by an AU company?

Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask, I was recently working on a private company here in the PH as an independent consultant/freelancer.
They collect 5% Withholding Tax monthly. I get that I can use that to claim tax credits when filing.
My contract ended this April, and I was offered another job by an Australian company. Do I have to pay taxes in Australia? Or here in the PH?
Thank you.
My options are Kindle Colorsoft, Kobo Libra Color, Kobo Clara Color, Boox Go Color 7 Gen II.
I've been thinking if I want the Boox because it is not tied down on a sole ecosystem since I wanted to get back to reading manhwa/manga but I'm afraid it's battery life is not as good as Kobo or Kindle because it runs Android.
I own a Kindle Basic Matcha and I can say, the battery life of kindle is actually really great especially if you turn on the airplane mode and turn off the wifi when not in use.
What do you guys think between these e-readers? Not sure if I actually want to annotate, I sometimes get super lazy but sometimes I also feel like annotating. Ugh the struggle.
