How to Remit Withholding Tax via GCash
- Add up total withholding tax for all employees for the month using BIR Form 1601-C.
- Generate the form through eBIRForms and confirm the total amount due.
- Open GCash, tap Pay Bills, then select Government, then BIR.
- Select Form 1601-C as the form type, enter your TIN and the period covered, then enter the total amount.
- Complete payment and save the reference number. The deadline is the 10th of the following month.
Common Mistakes Employers Make
- Withholding tax on the gross salary instead of taxable compensation. SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions should be deducted first.
- Using the wrong bracket for semi-monthly or weekly payroll. Always convert to the monthly equivalent first before checking the table.
- Forgetting to file 1601-C even when withholding tax is zero. A zero return still needs to be filed if you have registered employees.
- Not issuing BIR Form 2316 by January 31. Every employee needs this for their own annual tax filing.
