Let ETM help/assist you to maximise these De Minimis. 

For example, If Manuel Pangilinan, PLDT Tycoon, has a daily compensation of P1,000,000 and a janitor from his Office is receiving P500 a day, and the PLDT management decided to give item a to both of them. Then, Manny would receive P10,000,000 while his janitor would receive P5,000. Your question is whether the P10,000,000 de minimis benefit of Manny is taxable or not. The answer would be revealed to you if you would ask for it via email 09989793922@MaestroTaxation.org
