Practice question

A mixed-income resident citizen has PHP500,000 fully taxable compensation and PHP1 million qualifying business gross sales. The taxpayer validly uses graduated rates and elects maximum OSD only for the business; all relevant conditions are met. With no other adjustments, what amount enters the combined taxable-income computation?
  1. PHP1.1 million: PHP500,000 salary plus PHP600,000 business income after OSD
  2. PHP900,000 by applying40% OSD to both salary and business
  3. PHP600,000 by discarding all salary
  4. PHP500,000 because OSD exempts the business
  5. PHP1.5 million because OSD is never allowed for business income
