Income Tax Due
1. **State the problem:**
Calculate the income tax due for a professional with an annual gross income of P2,800,000, allowable deductions of P2,500,000, and a withholding tax of P120,000. The taxpayer availed the 8% income tax option.
2. **Formula and rules:**
The 8% income tax option means the tax is computed as 8% of the gross income without itemizing deductions.
3. **Calculate the income tax due:**
Since the taxpayer chose the 8% option, the tax is:
$$\text{Income Tax} = 0.08 \times \text{Gross Income}$$
4. **Substitute the values:**
$$\text{Income Tax} = 0.08 \times 2,800,000 = 224,000$$
5. **Adjust for withholding tax:**
The withholding tax of P120,000 is credited against the income tax due:
$$\text{Tax Due} = 224,000 - 120,000 = 104,000$$
6. **Final answer:**
The income tax due is **104,000**.
This matches one of the given choices.
