    1. Yes. You will be filing BIR Forms 1701Q and 1701 as Single Proprietor. Once you opted to use OSD during the First Quarter, you will do the same to the other quarters and Annual Income Tax (1701). Thank you

    This is great stuff. Very simple yet informative.

    One question though, if I may ask. Let's say an individual was employed during the first half of the year then decided to do freelance service as individual/sole propriertor during the next half of the year, is he qualified for OSD for the 2nd half of the year?

    thanks a lot

    1. Thanks sir. Yes he is qualifies for OSD upon registration. Once he opt to used the OSD in that quarter, he is required to use in the succeeding quarters and Annual Income Tax. If he is also employed and at the same time a sole proprietor, he is classified as a Mix Income Earner (Compensation and Business).
