Corporate income tax and fiscal incentives or Package 2 of the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises or C.R.E.A.T.E. is a newly passed law.

C.R.E.A.T.E. bill trims down corporate income tax (CIT) from 30% to 25% for large corporations and 20% for small and medium corporations (given that their net taxable income is below Php 5M and their total assets are below Php 100M).

Prior to the RMC changes, if you generated a 1702-RT form in Fast File, the only option for Period 2019 and older is that (line 40) Applicable Tax Rate is set to 30% while (line 42) Minimum CIT is set to 2%.

Line 40 or Applicable tax rate is 30%

Line 42 or Minimum CIT is 2%
