Chapter 7
Introduction to Gross Income
Income Defined
Gross income means, in its broad sense, all income from whatever
source, derived within or without the Philippines, whether legal or illegal. The
tax code does not distinguish legal and illegal income. Proceeds of
embezzlement or swindling, for instance, are income because’ embezzler or
‘swindler already has complete dominion over them and can use such for his
economic benefit. In the case of James vs. United States, the Supreme Court
of the U.S. held that “If a taxpayer receives income, legally or illegally, without
consensual recognition of obligation to repay, that income is automatically
taxable”.
“Income” means all wealth which flows into the taxpayer, other than return
of capital. It imports something distinct from principal or capital. On the other
hand, “Capital” constitutes the investment which is the source of income.
Therefore, capital is fund while income is the flow. Capital is wealth, while
income is the service of wealth. Capital is the tree while income is the fruit
(Vicente Madrigal et al v. James Rafferty, 38 Phil. 414).
ILLUSTRATIVE CASE - INCOME FROM WHATEVER SOURCE
Cloris a big-time swindle. In oe year, he was able to eam P,000,000 fom his swindling
activites. When the Commissioner of Intemal Revenue discovered his income from
swinding, the Commissioner assessed im a deficiency income tax for such income. Clifford
protested the ascessment onthe folowing grounds:
4) Theincome tax applies only to egal income, not to legal incomes,
2) Cifras receipts from his swindling did not constitute income because he was under
blgation to retum the amount he had swindled, hence his receipt from swinding was
similar to a loan, whichis not income, because for every peso borowed, he has @
coresponding ably to pay one peso; and
ifhe has to pay the deficiency income tax assessment, there willbe hardly anything left
to rtum tothe victims ofthe swindling,
How will you rule on each of the three grounds for the protest?lipter 7- Tekrideckion & Gross Jwcome
ANSWER:
4) The contenton thatthe income tax apps to legal income and not fo legal come is
not correct. Section 32(A) ofthe Tax Code includes wihin the purview of gross nome
all Income from whatever source derived. Hence, the illegality of the income will not
preclude the imposton ofthe income tax thereon.
2) The contention thatthe receips fom his swindling dd not consite income because of
his obligaon to etum the amount swindled is likewise not corect. When a taxpayer
_aoquies earings, awfully or unlawful, without the consensual recognition, express or
implied, ofan obligation to repay and witout restriction as to their disposition, he has
received tarable income, even though it may sill be claimed thal he is not ented to
retain the money, and even though he may sill be adjudged to restore its equivalent
(James vs. U.S;366 U.S. 213, 1961). To treat the embezzled funds not as taxable“
income would perpetuate injustice by relieving embezzlers ofthe duty of paying income
taxes on the money they enrich themselves with through embezzlement, while honest
people pay their taxes on every conceivable typeof income.
3) The deficiency income tax assessment isa direct tax imposed on the owner wich is an
excise on the pvege to eam an income. It will not necessary be pad out ofthe same
income that was subjected to the tax. Cfo’ liability to pay the taxis based on his
havig realized a taxable income from his swindling actives and wil not affect his
obligation to meke “esttutin’. Payment ofthe tax isa cl oblgaion imposed by law
while resttuion i acl abit arising fom a crime.
ILLUSTRATIVE FLOW OF WEALTH
CASE —- Deposit with no interest does not produce income for the depositor
because there is no flow of wealth.
MERE RETURN OF CAPITAL ‘
Leclec lends Gore P1,000,000. Gore repays P1,000,000 plus P25,006
inlerest. The P1 000,000 isnot an income as this is merely a retum of

Forms of Income
Income may be “realized in any form, whether in money, -property,
services, indirect economic benefit. Items indirectly benefitting taxpayers are
excluded from gross income.’ Income includes the forms of income
specifically described as gains derived from sale ot other disposition of capital
(Madrigal vs. Rafferty, 38 Phil. 414). It also refers to the amount of money
coming to a person or corporation within a specified time, whether as
payment of services, interest, or profits from investment. (Fisher vs. Trinidad,
43 Phil. 973).
Valuation of Income
The amount of income ‘recognized is generally the value received or
which the taxpayer has a right to receive. If the services were rendered at a
stipulated price, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, such price
shall be presumed to be the fair market value of the compensation received.
Transfer’ of. land made by a person’ to another in payment of services
rendered in the form of attorney's fees shall be considered as part of the
gross income of the latter valued at either the fair market value or the zonal
valuation, whichever is nighet in the taxable year received (BIR Ruling #017-
2003).

Section 31 of the Tax Code, as amended, provides that “Taxable income”

George was informed that his check dated December 16, -2020 is already
available and he can get it anytime. George did not get the check until January
30, 2021. In this case, George constructively received income in December
2020 and is taxable in that taxable period.
Case 2
“An employer issued a bonus check to an employee on December 31, 2020 but
asked her to hold it for few days until the company could make deposits to
cover the check”. The income was not constructively received on December
31,.2020 since the issuer did not have sufficient funds in its account to pay the

actually or constructively received in cash or cash equivalent.
Characteristics of Philippine Income Tax
1. National tax. It is imposed and collected by the National Government
throughout the country.
2. General tax. It is levied without specific or a predetermined purpose.
Hence, the revenue from income tax may be appropriated for general
purposes.
3. Excise tax. It is imposed on the right or privilege of a person to receive or
eam an income.
4. Direct tax. It is payable by the person upon whom it is directly imposed
by law. It cannot be shifted or passed on to others.
5. Progressive tax. It is based upon one's ability to pay. The rate of income
tax increases as the tax base increases.Chapter 7- Introduction ia Gross Income
INCOME TAX SYSTEMS
1) Schedular Tax System vs. Global Tax System
Under a ‘Schedular System”, the various typesiitems of income
(compensation; business/professional income) are classified accordingly *
and are accorded different tax treatments, in accordance with schedules
characterized by graduated tax rates. Since these types of income are
treated separately, the allowable deductions shall likewise vary for each
type [Link]. On the other hand, all income received by a taxpayer
under the “Global Tax System” are grouped together, without any
distinction as to the type or nature of the income, and after deducting
therefrom expenses and other allowable deductions, are subjected to tax
at a fixed rate. The distinctions of the two income tax systems are

BASIC FEATURES OF PHILIPPINE INCOME TAXATION
1). It has adopted a comprehensive tax situs by using the nationality,
residence, and source rules. This makes citizens and resident aliens
taxable on their income derived from all sources while ‘non-resident aliens
are taxed only on [Link] derived from within the Philippines.
Domestic corporations are also taxed on universal income while foreign
. corporations are taxed only on income from within.
2
The individual income tax system is mainly progressive in nature in that
it provides a graduated rates of income tax. Corporations in general are
taxed at a flat rate of either 20%, or 25% under the CREATE Act.
3)
It has retained more scheduler than global features with respect to
individual taxpayers but has maintained a more global treatment on
corporations.er 7- Inbrodaction bo Gross Income

dominion over the subject in question.
Knowledge of the “situs” of a particular income is vital in determining the
taxable income as some taxpayers are taxable on their income from all
sources (income within and without such as in the case of resident citizens
and domestic corporations) while others are taxable only on their income from
sources within the Philippines only. Knowledge of “situs” also avoids a
taxpayer's risk of failing to declare income which are taxable in the Philippines
- and likewise ensure that only income taxable in the Philippines is assessed by
the regulatory bodies, specifically the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Factors affecting Situs-of income are as follows:’
