Every employee must furnish to his employer a Salary or Wages Declaration at the time of commencement of his employment. In this declaration the employee is required to state his residential status, details of his dependents and allowances or benefits received by him. The completed form must be signed both the employee and employer and lodged with the Internal Revenue Commission (IRC) on or before the due date of next monthly remittance of salary or wages tax.
Where an employee has indicated that he is a non-resident the employer is required to apply the nonresident tax rates in calculating the salary or wages tax. Where he has indicated resident then resident rates needs to be applied.
