Nitong nakaraan kong kolum nakatanggap ng several text message inquiries ang aming official contact mobile numbers at mayroon ilang mga texter ang nagtatanong kung sino daw ang Judge na aking tinutukoy (nagtatanong lamang) na nag-same sex marriage. Ang parating standard na sagot ay, “hindi kami aware kung sino ang Judge na tinutukoy ng kolumnista, siguro ay kontakin na lang ninyo ang kolumnista na sumulat.” Hi!Hi! Hi! Ang problema is ang contact numbers ng inyong lingkod ay confidential at lahat ng info na nais ninyong tanungin o iparating ay maari din ninyong i-email sa ncastro@linisgobyerno.org. Kaya relax lang kayo at ilalabas din natin ang lahat ng info sa takdang panahon.Kung baga sa nilulutong putahe ay inaayos pa natin ang timpla sapagkat sino ba naman ang gustong kumain ng lutong bitin o kulang sa timpla at rekado, di ba? NALPAS!!!

Dapat bang ideklara ang lahat ng income? – O ngayon mayroon uli tayong isa pang katanungan hinggil sa pag dedeklara ng income sa BIR at sa SALN. Siyanga pala nais ko lang batiin ng isang maligayang bati ang isa nating kumpare sa Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), na si pareng Bong M_ _ _ _ _ o na mag didiwang ng kanynag kaarawan sa August 28. Padre, magpa-shat ka naman kahit naka social distancing tayo, oks lang. Sa ngayon ay wala muna akong bibigyan ng clue kung sino ang aking tinutukoy, kung Judge ba ito o Doktora ba ito etc. Para bagang yun inakusa nila kay Justice Leonen nung nais nilang ipa-impeach siya na hindi daw niya dineklara ang kanyang income from teaching noong nagtuturo siya sa UP. Bagama’t ano ba ang sabi ng BIR? Basahin:
Who are Required to File Income Tax Returns?
Individuals
- Resident citizens receiving income from sources within or outside the Philippines
- Employees deriving purely compensation income from two or more employers, concurrently or successively at any time during the taxable year
- Employees deriving purely compensation income regardless of the amount, whether from a single or several employers during the calendar year, the income tax of which has not been withheld correctly (i.e. tax due is not equal to the tax withheld) resulting to collectible or refundable return
- Self-employed individuals receiving income from the conduct of trade or business and/or practice of profession
- Individuals deriving mixed income, i.e., compensation income and income from the conduct of trade or business and/or practice of profession
- Individuals deriving other non-business, non-professional related income in addition to compensation income not otherwise subject to a final tax
- Individuals receiving purely compensation income from a single employer, although the income of which has been correctly withheld, but whose spouse is not entitled to substituted filing
- Non-resident citizens receiving income from sources within the Philippines
- Aliens, whether resident or not, receiving income from sources within the Philippines

Bagamat hindi sinabi dito na dapat na ideklara ang lahat ng income, nang tanungin ko ang isa nating kasamahan na CPA, ang sagot niya sa akin ay “op cors all income must be declared!”. NALPAS!!!
