This is what I just found at Philippine Embassy Washington DC website: 6. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS ON PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES? Under the Philippine Comprehensive Tax Reform Program of 1997, incomes earned overseas by Filipinos from 1998 onwards are no longer taxable by the Philippine government. Hence, all Filipinos abroad, including those who have retained/reacquired their Philippine citizenship, have been exempted by the Philippine Government from paying Philippine income tax on incomes earned abroad. Incomes earned in the Philippines, however, will be subject to Philippine income tax. Prospective applicants are advised to visit and read the contents of the website of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which contains information about current U.S. government policy on taxes on incomes earned worldwide, or to seek legal advice from a U.S. tax lawyer.

Do dual citizens (Philippines and US) have to pay taxes in the Philippines on income earned in the United States? I'm asking because my mother told me that "someone from BIR" came to her house with an envelope and asked for me, but she refused to accept it and told him that I no longer live there, which is correct. I don't believe I owe BIR taxes; my last employment in the Philippines was in January 2010, and I paid taxes religiously while there. Anyone?
