Tax computation HB 4774 Sec. 24

Ako po ay nagwork sa isang private hospital dito samin sa Zamboanga del Sur. Ang sahod ko po ay P9,000.00/per month at may deduction ako ng Withholding Tax amounting to P 477.41. Single po ako. Ang tanong ko lang po ay hindi pa po ba effective yung HB 4774 Sec. 24, On Compensation Income Earners, Tax Schedule Effective July 01, 2017. Please explain. Thank you so much. May nabasa rin ako na below P 21, 000 ang sahod ay exempted sa tax. Is it true or implemented already?

Naku, kayo na rin ang nagsabi, ang inyo pong inaasahan ay isang "HOUSE BILL" -- ito po ay isang panukalang batas pa lamang. Ang lahat ng panukalang batas ay kailangang dumaan sa three readings sa House of Representatives. Tapos po, kung may panukala din sa Senado na halos kapareho nito (Senate Bill), magkakaroon po ng committee na pipilitin nilang pag-isahin ang dalawang panukala. Pagbobotohan ito, tapos, kapag ito ay ganap nang batas, dadaan pa ito sa signing ng Pangulo. Kung hindi approved sa Malacanang ay ive-veto ito ng Pangulo, babalik nanaman ito sa Congress at ito ay susubukan nilang i-override. Kung pirmahan naman ito ng Pangulo, ito ay magiging effective po 15 days after it is published.
Sa madali't sabi, matagal pa po bago ito maging effective. Noon pa pong panahon ni Pnoy, naumpisahan na ang tax reform (hindi pa rin natatpos). So, hindi pa po puedeng ipa-tupad ang panukala, kailangan munang maging isang ganap na batas ito.
