    Study Notes

    Bank Reconciliation

    • Bank reconciliation is the process of matching a company's book balance to its bank statement balance.
    • This is done to identify any discrepancies between the two balances.
    • The goal is to ascertain any differences and record them appropriately.
    • Two parts of a bank statement:
      • Account Summary: Shows the opening balance, deposits, credits, interest, withdrawals, and closing balance.
      • Transaction Detail: Shows the bank balance (ending balance on the statement), book balance (balance in the company's records), deposits in transit (deposits recorded by the company but not by the bank), outstanding checks (checks issued by the company but not yet cashed by the recipient), and other adjustments.
    • Bank Balance: The ending balance on the bank statement for the month.
    • Book Balance/Cash Ledger: The amount in the company's general ledger for the bank account. This is also known as the balance per books.
    • Deposit in Transit: Cash or checks received and recorded by the company but not yet recorded by the bank.
    • Outstanding Check: A check issued by the company but not yet cleared by the bank.
    • Insufficient Funds Check (NSF): A check that is not honored by the bank because of insufficient funds.
    • Book Balance: The balance shown in the company's accounting records for the account.
    • Interest Earned: Interest earned by the company and recorded on the bank statement.
    • Service Charges: Charges imposed by the bank for services.
    • Adjustment to Deposits: Incorrect deposits or checks with insufficient funds that the bank has identified.
    • Nature of Bank Reconciliation: Bank balances often differ because of timing differences (transactions recorded at different times by the company and the bank), and errors. A bank reconciliation statement compares the bank balance to the book balance.

    Tax Computation

    • TRAIN Law: Aims to simplify, make tax more fair and effective.

    • Tax Reform (TRAIN): Designed to increase funds for infrastructure and social services, reduce poverty and income inequality.

    • Tax benefits: Exemption on the first ₱250,000 of annual income. Tax rates increase for the wealthiest 0.1%.

    • Bonus and other benefits: ₱90,000 or greater amounts of bonus and benefits are tax-exempt.

    • Taxable income calculations: Overtime, absences, leaves, de minimis benefits are not included. Income of zero for people or spouses without jobs.

    • Withholding tax tables: (see specific table given in text for exact rates) provide tax rates based on income brackets.

    • Taxpayers: Citizens living in the Philippines are taxed on all income (domestic or foreign). Non-resident citizens are taxed only on income earned in the Philippines.

    • Source of income (NIRC): Compensation for services, profits from trade or business, gains from property dealings, interests, rents, royalties, dividends.

    • Principal Tax Law: National Internal Revenue Code of 1997.

    • Implementing agency: Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
