FARMING

Taxation of farming gross income requires classification of the following:

  1. Livestock and farm products raised and sold- the selling price of the livestock or farm products is considered gross income.
  2. Livestock and farm purchased and sold- only the accounting gross income (sales less cost of sales) is included in gross income

Taxation Rules:

  • Taxpayer may follow accrual or cash basis in accounting for inventories
  • Expenses in raising the livestock and farm products are deductions from the computed gross income
  • The proceeds of crop insurance or livestock insurance constitute gross income because it represents recovery of lost profits rather than lost capital

TAX BENEFITS

When a taxpayer gains an advantage by an income tax deduction claimed in the past but were subsequently recovered, the tax benefit should be included in income in the year recovered as item of gross income.

Examples:

  1. Bad debt recovery

General Rule: The recovery of bad debts previously written off constitute a receipt of taxable income

  1. Tax refund

General Rule: Refund of taxes that entered the determination of taxable income should be reverted back to gross income.

Hence, refunds of the following taxes that will not enter determination of taxable income will not be included in gross income:

  • Philippine income tax, except the fringe benefit tax
  • Estate or donor’s tax
  • Special assessment
  • Income tax paid or incurred to a foreign country, if the taxpayer claimed a credit for such tax in the year it was paid or incurred
  • Stock transaction tax

Note: the above items are not deductible against gross income in any case hence they could not give rise to a tax benefit to the taxpayer

  1. Unamortized cost of property abandoned and written off but was subsequently re-entered into use

General Rule: The cost previously expensed should be reverted back into gross income in the year extraction operation is resumed.

Exception to Recoveries of Losses and Expenses: Tax Benefit Rule

When the write-off or tax expense did not cause a reduction in the income tax liability in the period it is claimed, the recovery or refund is exempt because of absence of tax benefit.
