The Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) for 2024 is a ₱20,000 bonus for eligible government employees in the Philippines. While it’s a well-deserved reward, it’s important to know that the SRI is taxable if your total annual bonuses exceed the ₱90,000 tax-exempt limit. For most employees, the SRI will remain tax-free, but any amount above this threshold will be subject to income tax. The incentive will start being distributed on December 20, 2024.
