National Internal Revenue Code of 1997 5th Edition
Four hundred and twenty-five days after the effectivity of the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act or Republic Act (RA) No. 11534 on April 11, 2021, one question still lingers among the registered business enterprises (RBEs) from the country’s nineteen Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs): How can RBEs maximize their fiscal and non-fiscal incentives under the new tax rules and evolving market environment?
The Philippines is transitioning to the implementation of its new Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) with the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) pilot implementation of its e-invoicing, e-receipting and e-sales system starting July 2022.
Can you remember the very first time you logged your financial details online or made a cashless transaction? As late as 2016, I can still recall a general hesitance to sign up for e-wallets or streaming platforms due to a fear that any attempt to put one’s credit card or bank details online would immediately lead to theft. Some five years later, however, financial technology (fintech) has proliferated in the mainstream.
According to recent news reports, the inflation rate for May 2022 is at 5.4%, the highest recorded inflation rate since December 2018. To boot, last month, there were also talks about the possibility of postponing the individual income tax cuts supposedly scheduled starting 2023 as provided under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act. These scenarios would certainly trigger taxpayers into thinking about these events’ consequent impact to them. Definitely, these taxpayers include the millions of employees in the Philippines who may be worried about their take home pay vis-à-vis the rising prices of goods and services.
It has been more than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and started to wreak havoc in the Philippines in early March 2020. The pandemic has driven both businesses and individuals to recalibrate and reassess priorities. Many companies and even households resorted to cutting down expenditures to mitigate the financial impact of the pandemic (e.g., reduction in or loss of household income for those affected by businesses’ workforce rationalization, and decrease in sales, especially for companies belonging to heavily affected industries like hotels and airlines). Many Filipinos lost jobs, businesses, and even loved ones.
On May 30, 2022, the BIR recently issued RMC Nos. 76 and 77-2022 to inform taxpayers of the suspension of all pending Letters of Authority/Mission Orders as of May 30,2022, as well as audit and other field operations pursuant to, and under authority of, all task forces created thru Revenue Special Orders, Operations Memoranda and other similar orders/directives.
Feeling left out has a lot of harmful effects to our emotional and mental well-being. In fact, when we do not feel like we belong in a particular communal setting or activity, the social ties that help manage our stress levels are eroded. Over time, these small emotions associated with feeling left out balloon, and we are often left to deal with higher levels of stress, much more than we can handle.
Cambridge Dictionary defines a “task force” as a group of people brought together to do a particular job. The term may be familiar relative to the Covid-19 pandemic when the government created the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) composed of members from various executive departments, supposedly for a collaborative approach to combating Covid-19.
