Find out all the average employee or small business owner needs to know about taxes so you can rest easy

The quote about the certainty of death and taxes might be overused, but that just means there’s truth to it. Plus, in the Philippines, you often hear business owners complaining they’re much more afraid of taxes than death!

But there’s no reason to fear taxes as long as you do things right. This is why accountant and business consultant Sharon Aytona, CPA, LLB, CPP, has created her course, Beginner’s Guide to Taxation in the Philippines: The What, Why, and How of Taxes.

Designed for people who want a good but casual understanding of taxes and how they affect their lives and income, this course will demystify the dreaded topic and eliminate your terror of tax season.

Have you ever looked at your payslip and wondered how your taxes are computed and deducted from your salary each month? What do the numbers on your income tax return (ITR) really mean?

Maybe you run a small business and are worried you aren’t filing your taxes correctly.

Perhaps you’re not sure how you can compute your taxes so you can anticipate how much you’ll be expected to pay to the BIR, especially for times when your business either does very well or very poorly.

Sharon Aytona’s Beginners Guide to Taxation in the Philippines will teach you enough to banish most, if not all, of your tax-related fears.

Here are three key tips for a stress-free tax season:
^

File them right.

You need to make sure you pay the right amount to the correct regional district office (RDO). Otherwise, you risk having to pay surcharges and penalties, and no one wants to throw good money after simple errors.
^

File them early.

Don’t wait until the deadline to file your taxes. Not only do you have to compete with last-minute filers, but if any issues cause you to have to refile or file late, you’ll incur heavy penalties.
^

File them online.

If you’re filing your taxes yourself, the BIR’s Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) allows you to pay your taxes online. There are also apps to help streamline the process.
Need to know how to accomplish these three things? Let Sharon walk you through the basics with her course.
