Insurance Agents are commission-based jobs. Unfortunately, that means that your income is largely dependent on the number of clients you manage to rope in. That also means that your tax filings every year come out to different numbers.

It’s only natural that you’ll want to figure out how best to file your income tax returns. You might be asking questions like what forms do I need to use? Or where can I file my taxes?

Don’t worry, we’ll cover all that and more here in today’s article.

What Forms Do I File As A Filipino Insurance Agent?

There’s not really a specific set of forms that will fit all your needs, the forms you’ll use will depend on factors like your income and the presence of employees.

For taxpayers using the 8% income flat tax rate, for example, you’ll simply need to file your income tax and annual registration fee alongside a summary of Withheld Taxes and your Books of Account.

If you qualify for the graduated income tax rate, you’ll need to tack on your percentage tax as well as the items I mentioned above.

Now, here’s the interesting thing:

If your annual income exceeds that of Php 3,000,000, then you’ll need to submit over a dozen different forms.

These will include your monthly remittance form for Creditable Income Taxes Withheld Expanded, Quarterly Remittance Return of Creditable Income Taxes, Taxes Withheld Expanded, Quarterly Alphalist of Payees, an Issued Certificate of Creditable Tax, and so much more!

Where Can I File My Taxes?

The eFPS or the Electronic Filing and Payment System is developed and maintained by the BIR. It is a portal where you can avail of paperless tax filing and settle your annual taxes from wherever you are.

The best part about this product is that it’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days, a week, inclusive of holidays.

Seems great, right? Unfortunately, the eFPS system is only available for mandated taxpayers are eligible to use the system. according to the BIR Website.

The Electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForms) is also available for use but it does not autocompute your tax dues for you.

Your option, then, if you are not part of the mandated taxpayers to use eFPS is to go fill in your forms, proceed to the Authorized Agent Bank of the Revenue District where you’re registered and manually submit your BIR form.
