VA voluntary contributions and taxes
Please help me understand what I should do. Educate me.
- I made SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG account numbers when I was unemployed, fresh grad.
- Never employed traditionally.
- Never made contributions at that time.
- Now a self-employed VA registered with the BIR.
- Only contributed to Pag-IBIG after being registered with the BIR.
- Never updated membership categories for all three (SSS, PH, PI).
Questions
- Should I update my membership category for all three? What category?
- What if I don't want to contribute to SSS and PH, just PI?
- If I can't bypass the two, what are your tips so I can pay only the minimum amount?
- When I file my taxes with the BIR, can I not declare the full amount?
- When keeping invoices on file, should I use the receipt of international payment amount or the amount I transferred in my local bank?
- I hate the government so I want to dodge anything that would make the crocs happier. But is it essential to contribute so my love ones wouldn't have a hard time if I get ill?
