# 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.
