Payments for attending advisory bodies are classified as employment income

A query was raised regarding the appropriate withholding tax for payments made for attending sessions of a Provincial Consumer Council. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) has determined that these payments constitute employment income, meaning the general withholding tax rate applies.

The question raised

Question raised: Applicable withholding tax on said remuneration.

The DGT's ruling

Amounts paid for attendance at meetings of an advisory body constitute income from employment pursuant to Article 17.1 of the Personal Income Tax Law. As it is not a management or administrative body, the special rate applicable to directors does not apply, but rather the general withholding rate established in Article 80.1.1 of the Personal Income Tax Regulations.
