On Professional Fees and Rent : If the partnership pays professional fees, rent, or other specified payments, it must withhold and remit withholding taxes on these payments. The partnership must file and report annual and quarterly tax returns, including income tax, VAT, and withholding tax returns, with the BIR. Operational Plan I.
