Withholding Tax (WHT) Report

Introduction

Withholding Tax (WHT) is deducted from consultant and surgeon professional fee payments before the net amount is disbursed. The WHT report lists all professional payments for a period, showing the gross fee, WHT percentage, WHT amount withheld, and net payment made. This report is used for tax compliance, generating WHT certificates, and reconciling tax payable to the government.
