For the payer, the e-Withholding Tax system can substitute the use of the conventional tax filing procedures.The payer is not required to submit a withholding income tax return form, nor issue a tax certificate. This helps facilitate financial transactions and withholding of the income tax.
For the beneficiary, the fact that the bank helps remit the withholding tax and prepare information on tax withholding to the Revenue Department, means that the Revenue Department has already received the withholding tax information. Therefore, there is no need for any further information filing. Since both the beneficiary and the payer can verify tax information via the web portal of the Revenue Department, the process of preparing documents is reduced leading to less human errors and forgery risk mitigation.
