Forum — Guidelines on Communication Allowance of Government Officials and Employees

Is the communication allowance of government officials and employees, if any, subject to tax (or is it taxable)?

Question: Hello,question lang po. Ang cellphone allowance po ba ay taxable? Allowance po na binibigay sa division chiefs and officials, as well as yung mga drivers and secretaries na need makipagcommunicate thru phone. Thank you.
There is no such cellphone allowance po sa government. Walang account title na ganyan. It is an expense chargeable to communication expenses [MOOE]. Kaya po taxable kasi po sinama nyo sya as part of compensation. However, [does] your COA allows it as allowance?

In our agency po walang tax ang load allowance. Thru reimbursement siya e so may attachments siyang either RER or OR.

Nagiging part po ng gross income kapag regular in nature na yung allowance, thus, subject to tax as other benefits since hindi ito de minimis. Pero if on reimbursement basis at hindi reported as part of compensation hindi po.
