WE DONT HAVE ANY PRIVATE CLINIC AS EXPLAINED BUT STILL THEY INSIST TO COLLECT THE SAID PAYMENTS..ARE WE REALLY LIABLE TO PAY THAT PROFESSIONAL FEES AND PTR EVEN IF WE ARE GOVERNMENT DENTISTS?..

I recently renewed my mayor’s permit with the QC govt. and spoke with the city treasurer with this issue, they were very contradictory because:
1) the reason they collect business taxes from us is that we “sell” prosthetics, orthodontic appliances which I contradicted and told him that we do not sell it but it is part of the services we render,
2) I hope that this issue be addressed by the PDA bec. I have a brother who mpractices Dentistry in Laoag City and they are not required to pay mayor’s Permit/taxes
3) we are categorized in QC as contractors and I strongly object to this category, We are Professionals!!! not contractors!!!

hello! I have a copy of the DOH memo banning the use of all mercury-related devices in all health facilities. Maybe you can link to my blogspot aguiluzlissa for all dentists to know especially those still using amalgam

Subukan kong sagutin. Pero dapat kumunsulta ka sa lawyer.
———————
Professional Tax. – (a) The province may levy an annual professional tax on each person engaged in the exercise or practice of his profession requiring government examination at such amount and reasonable classification as the sangguniang panlalawigan may determine but shall in no case exceed Three hundred pesos (P=300.00).

———————-
Before 2010, hindi ka pa “engaged in the exercise or practice of your profession” kaya hindi mo dapat bayaran yung nakaraan.
———————–

(b) Every person legally authorized to practice his profession shall pay the professional tax to the province where he practices his profession or where he maintains his principal office in case he practices his profession in several places: Provided, however, That such person who has paid the corresponding professional tax shall be entitled to practice his profession in any part of the Philippines without being subjected to any other national or local tax, license, or fee for the practice of such profession.

———————-
Hindi ka din sakop nito kasi wala pa yung dental clinic mo at hindi ka nagwork as dentist before 2010
———————
-
(c) Any individual or corporation employing a person subject to professional tax shall require payment by that person of the tax on his profession before employment and annually thereafter.

——————–
Hindi mo pa rin dapat bayaran yung nakaraan dahil hindi ka naman employed as dentist before 2010. Isa pa, bakit ka magbabayad ng tax sa kanila ni hindi ka pa kumita.

I went to our municipality here in valenzuela yesterday to inquire regarding PTR. The staff told me that I should pay it with penalty. I explained to her that my clinic was recently opened only last month, June 2010, and I am just starting to practice my profession because after I passed the board exam in 1997, my work was different. I worked in lending office which was not connected in my field. Also, I worked as ofw in saudi arabia on 2002. 2 yrs in Hafar Albatin and 5 years in Madinah, both in Saudi. I resigned and came home only last April 28, 2010. But the staff told me that every professional should pay the PTR from the year he passed the board exam and got her license even he/she is not yet practicing his profession. So she calculated how much I will pay and bargain that she will just count my penalty from 2001 instead 1997. Could you please give me your opinion regarding this matter? I really need your help. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Dulce G. Ermita

Good morning

i read about concerning the mayors permit, the Q.C. Hall and BIR Q.C. Branch advice me to get one for my clinic and i pay for it and it costs P 3,085.00. BIR Q.C. branch wont give me my certificate of registration until i present any form of mayors permit. the Q. C. hall wont give me a clearance for non mayors permit, instead they charged me for the busness permit. Y is the Q.C. Hall and BIR Q.C. Branch dont know the ordinance for the practice of profession? Is it possible to get back what i paid for?

Thank you
