English: The election honoraria and allowances of poll workers, including public school teachers, have never been subjected to tax until the 2018 Barangay and SK Elections and the 2019 midterm elections when the BIR imposed a 5 percent withholding tax on their honoraria. For the upcoming 2022 national elections, they will be taxed 20%.
Filipino: Ani Gatchalian, hindi naman kinakaltasan ng buwis ang honoraria at mga benepisyo ng poll workers noon. Pero sinimulan silang buwisan ng 5% noong 2018 barangay at SK elections at 2019 midterm elections. Sa darating na 2022 national elections, itataas na sa 20% ang withholding tax nila.
