MANILA, Philippines --- One of America's richest and most popular singer Lady Gaga paid the other day the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) P4 million in income tax out of her talent fee from the recent two-day concert at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
Ovation Production Inc. remitted the final withholding tax (FWT) to the Mandaluyong revenue district office where it is based.
Madaluyong Revenue District Officer Isabel Paulino told Quezon City Revenue Regional Director Jona DP Amora that Ovation has until June 20 to remit the value added tax (VAT) from its earnings of the show and the income tax next month.
Based on the P4 million FWT, Lady Gaga was paid by the promoter some P20 million.
Under Section 25 of the Tax Code, a 25-percent FWT is imposed on earnings of foreign entertainer doing shows here.
BIR could not make estimate on how much VAT and income tax are due from from Ovation.
It said the VAT from Lady Gaga's concert will be lumped with other earnings from other concerts and related activities promoted by Ovation.
But it said the principal promoter will not only shoulder all the business and income taxes but other enterprises like SM that promoted and made the concert possible.
Revenue officials explained that Lady Gaga's FWT is deductible from her income tax liabilities in the United States as provided for in the bilateral tax treaty agreement between the two countries.
They likened Lady Gaga's tax obligations to that of boxing champion Manny Paquiao who is also required to remit portions of his prize money to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) when fights are staged there which payments are deductible in his income tax here.
There is something about Lady Gaga – and I never fully realised this until I experienced the magnitude that as the Born This Way Ball.
More than your average pop star, Gaga is the whole package, one who captivated Auckland audiences for two and a half hours with song, theatrics and a heartfelt message.
The performer spared no expense when it came to spectacle. As soon as the curtain dropped to a sea of screams and flashes, the giant, interchangeable “Lady Gaga playhouse castle” that was as tall as Vector Arena’s stage was revealed. The Queen herself was carried out on horseback to the manic crowd. This set the tone for the high-drama, high-spectacle two-and-a-half-hour show.
Opening with 'Born This Way', Gaga became a giant monster, literally birthing her dancers onto the stage through an inflatable belly. A quick costume change lead her into a hovering white dress for ‘Bloody Mary’. But it wasn’t until 'Bad Romance’ that the crowd exploded. Filled with her most popular tracks from both Born This Way and The Fame, she never missed a beat. ‘Judas’, ‘Alejandro’, ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Poker Face’ had her furiously dancing around the stage, and her intimate acoustic versions of 'You And I' and 'Hair' demonstrated her talent as not only a musician, but an extremely dynamic singer.
In between wowing the crowd with her dancing, vocals or a combination of the two, Gaga got candid with the audience. She refused to hold back, singling out an older couple who were sitting, screaming, “Get up and dance! I’m singing 'Bad Romance'!” In the musical interlude, she addressed the couple again saying, “I know you have thought about leaving and that’s kind of the point.” The power of Gaga won them over, and by the end had them on their feet.

Like apparently they didn't choose people people to go to the pit until they were inside and the arena had 2 different gates for the GA part, and that they only picked people from one gate and totally ignored the other gate..
Especially for the people who waited in line basically the same time as the people at the other gate..
