Can i claim my 15 years old brother as my tax dependent?
You already have so many question posted and none of the answers seems to satisfy you. My answer might also tangled you into confusion (if read with all the other answers). Per my understanding, you are talking about Philippine tax laws. I think it will be best if you will read the NIRC for the complete provision of the law. You may visit the BIR website so you may find a copy of the provisions (www.bir.gov.ph) or if you want full details and don’t want to read it, you may call the BIR Contact Center at 981-8888, they have knowledgeable and friendly operators willing to help you in your questions.
