Introduction
Publisher or affiliate computation varies from network to network, though the computation itself is often straightforward.
How is my commission computed?
Below is the sample computation for your commission:
If brand/merchant is VAT registered:
| Total sales from an affiliate program | P100,000 |
| Less: 12% VAT | (P12,000) |
| Sales after VAT | P88,000 |
| Commission rate | 10% |
| Commission amount | P8,800 |
| Less: withholding tax (10%) | (P880) |
| Net commission amount | P7,920 |
If brand/merchant is not VAT registered:
| Total sales from an affiliate program | P100,000 |
| Commission rate | 10% |
| Commission amount | P10,000 |
| Less: withholding tax (10%) | (P1,000) |
| Net commission amount | P9,000 |
For foreign publishers, whether corporate or individual, we will have to withhold 30% of your commission. Your sample computation will be:
If brand/merchant is VAT registered:
| Total sales from an affiliate program | P100,000 |
| Less: 12% VAT | (P12,000) |
| Sales after VAT | P88,000 |
| Commission rate | 10% |
| Commission amount | P8,800 |
| Less: withholding tax (30%) | (P2,640) |
| Net commission amount | P6,160 |
If brand/merchant is not VAT registered:
| Total sales from an affiliate program | P100,000 |
| Commission rate | 10% |
| Commission amount | P10,000 |
| Less: withholding tax (30%) | (P3,000) |
| Net commission amount | P7,000 |
IMPORTANT!
We will also require you to provide BIR-related documents such as a copy of your TIN ID. BIR registered affiliates/publishers will receive a form where to upload the needed documents. Non-BIR registered affiliates/publishers will receive a different form where they can upload a copy of their TIN ID. Failure to provide these documents may delay the processing of your commissions.
*** Note to non-BIR registered affiliates ***
Starting Q3 of 2021, we will apply administrative fees to non-BIR registered affiliates.
