Practice question
A guardian sets aside thirty percent of a qualifying child’s annual income but refuses any DOLE accounting, saying the deposit fully discharges every Section 12-C duty. Which is sound?
- Any deposit permanently excuses accounting.
- The deposit does not eliminate the separate semi-annual accounting obligation.
- Accounting is required only for the guardian’s personal income.
- The child’s age makes the statute inapplicable despite being below eighteen.
- Only the employer may choose whether to comply.
