Frequently asked Questions?
Teacher Salary Subsidy (TSS)
1.
What is the withholding tax on the TSS?
Answer
As a salary subsidy, the TSS is a form of additional
compensation that does not part form part of a
qualified teacher’s basic salary. Hence, a withholding
tax on the TSS is applied separately from that of the
basic salary. Therefore, the P12,000 TSS is subject to a
withholding tax of 10% resulting in a TSS beneficiary
receiving a net amount of P10,800.
However, in cases where what is due the teacher on a
pro rata basis due to the number of months served
entitles him or her to an amount anywhere between
P5,000 to below P10,000 the withholding tax is 5%.
For amounts less than P5,000 no withholding tax is
applicable.
Frequently asked Questions?
Teacher Salary Subsidy (TSS)
2.
Are licensed elementary teachers who are Bachelor
in Secondary education graduates or AB-BS with 18
units in professional education courses qualified for
the TSS?
Answer
No. There is a DepEd memo that allows
secondary education teachers to teach in
elementary but disallows elementary
education teachers to teach in secondary
level. TSS qualified teachers must be
secondary education licensed teachers.
Frequently asked Questions?
Teacher Salary Subsidy (TSS)
3.
Can unexpended/unused TSS amounts be distributed
or shared with other teachers that also teach ESC
grantees who are not listed among those in the
school’s TSS billing statement?
Answer
No. The TSS is only for those teachers listed
in the billing statement. Unexpended funds
must be returned to DepEd Central Office
through a check issuance by the school and
submitted to the FAPE RPC.
