Special Allowable Itemized Deductions & Net Operating Loss Carry-over - Chapter 13-B 4, The Standard Optional Deductions (OSD) - Chapter 13-C For individual taxpayers, there is a need to note the difference between business expenses and personal expenses. Personal expenses or those that an individual spends that are not connected to furtherance, maintenance or development of his trade, business or profession are non-deductible against gross income. Individuals that are not engage in business cannot claim deductions from gross income. Consequently, individuals are classified as follows: 1. Pure compensation income earner 2. Pure business or professional income earner 3. Mixed income earner — an individual earning both compensation and business or professional income Note on Personal Exemption Previously, the law provides for personal exemption of income of individual taxpayers.

In an effort the simply the tax system, the TRAIN law simply exempts P250,000 annual income of the individual income taxpayer from regular income tax.
