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.
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.
