Tax Calculation for Commissions & Other Taxable earnings of an MWe

Requested from BIR by G. Aldor at 06:14 PM on Jan 13, 2018.
Purpose: Payroll System Implementation for MWE salaries
Date of Coverage: 01/02/2018 - 01/02/2018
Tracking no: #BIR-221089236343

Aldor 06:14 PM, Jan 13, 2018 

Hi! I would like to request  answers for the following questions:

1. How should the taxable earnings (excess of 90k, taxable allowance) of an MWE be treated? Should they be loaded to the new 250k tax bracket, or should the income be fully non-taxable?

2. How do we address the inequity in instances where non-MWEs with salary rates near MWEs, are taxed, even if their income is less than MWEs?

3. How do we address taxesMWE to non-MWE transition within the year? and vice versa?
