Percentage Tax on Non-Life Premiums

Requested from BIR by F. Aguila at 09:44 AM on Jul 03, 2019.
Purpose: Government Reserach
Date of Coverage: 07/02/2019 - 07/03/2019
Tracking no: #BIR-719989354857

Aguila 09:44 AM, Jul 03, 2019

The NIRC states service providers with gross annual receipts below PHP 3 Million are exempt from VAT and are subject to a 3% percentage tax.

Being that non-life insurance is affected by Sections 108 and 109 of the NIRC, can non-life premiums be subject to percentage taxes instead of VAT when they have gross annual receipts below PHP 3 Million? If not, what precludes the imposition of a 3% percentage tax to non-life premiums?

Aguila 05:11 PM, Jul 09, 2019

I also want to ask if HMO membership fees can be subject to 3% percentage taxes in lieu of VAT per Section 109(1)(BB) of the NIRC. Thank you.
