Income Tax System, in General
Global Tax System - all items of gross income, deductions, and personal and additional exemptions, if any, are reported in one income tax return, and one set of tax rates are applied on the tax base.
Schedular Tax System - different types of income are subject to different sets of graduated or flat income tax rates.
Income Tax System, In General
Semi-Global, Semi-SchedularUnder this system, the compensation income,
business or professional income, capital gain and other income (not subject to final tax) are added together to arrive at gross income, and after deducting the allowable deductions/exemptions is subjected to one set of graduated rates. The computation therefore is “global”.
On capital gains on sale of shares of stocks stocks and real properties and passive income,
different schedular rates and flat rates apply.
