Thello Dalanon VALUE-ADDED TAX (VAT) IN PHILIPPINE SETTING
The VAT system in the Philippines took effect on January 1, 1988 by virtue of Executive Order (EO) No. 273, the law adopting the Value-Added Tax as implemented by Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 05-87 at the Read more ... rate of ten percent (10%) on all taxable transactions. The tax rate was increased to twelve percent (12%) starting February 1, 2006 by virtue of Republic Act No. 9337 as implemented by RR No. 16-05 as amended by RR No. 04-07.
VAT is an indirect tax and the amount of tax may be shifted to or passed on to the buyer, transferee, or lessee of goods, properties, or services. It is a tax on consumption of goods, services, or other dealings involving the same. It forms a significant portion of consumer expenses.
It is a "tax credit method" wherein the Input VAT paid and incurred by a VAT-registered entity is creditable against the Output VAT which it shifts to or passes on to another VAT-registered entity or buyer-end-user. In other words, Output VAT minus Input VAT.
Under the said system, the VAT-registered seller or transferor of goods, properties, or services merely acts as a collector or remittor of the tax actually paid by or shifted to or passed on to the buyer-end-user or final consumer.
While it may be an effective method of tax collection, its implementation is uncontrolled and unbounded, because it can be and actually have been abused by tricky persons simply by overstating purchases or expenses to overstate tax credit with the end view of evading remittance of correct amount of VAT.
Given the country's impoverished citizens, the uncontrolled and unbounded implementation of the VAT system have become so onerous and inequitable to the Filipino people who are not actually engaged in business nor engaged in undertaking affairs for profit like, exempt entities or non-stock, non-profit organizations whose affairs are not for profit such as: religious organizations, charitable organizations, and non-stock, non-profit educational institutions, and the like, because the entire burden of the tax falls on them.
The power of taxation is said to be in good exercise when it is equitable; i.e., if burden falls on those better able to pay. However, the present system seemingly favors those business enterprises which are for profit, particularly the VAT-registered ones because they are able to reclaim the VAT that was shifted or passed on to them by the VAT-registered sellers or transferors of goods, properties, or services since they are entitled to claim the Input VAT as tax credit against Output VAT.
Even those who are non-VAT-registered persons or entities but are engaged in profit oriented activities are not so burdened under the present tax scheme, because the VAT that is shifted to or passed on to them can be converted to form part of their costs and expenses which are deductible from their gross income, reduces taxable income and consequently lessens income tax liability.
Under the present VAT scheme, the burden of tax falls on the Filipino people (end-users) and not upon persons or entities who are better able to pay.
The implementing rules and regulations could have provided certain limitations on input VAT paid and incurred by a VAT-registered person that may be creditable against output VAT, because in principle and in truth, all natural and juridical persons, whether or not engaged in business for profit, are end-users in the real sense of the word, and not only the Filipino people.
Please help alleviate the Filipino people, especially the under-privileged, from the burden of tax. It should not only fall on them, but upon persons, firms, or companies engaged in undertaking affairs for profit as well.
Sana matulungan ng ating magiting na Senator Ralph Recto ang kanyang mahal na mamamayan sa paraan ng pagpababa ng VAT kahit mula sa 12% to 10% lang muna, upang kahit paano ay maibsan naman ang bigat sa buwis na pinapasan ng mamamayan, lalong-lalo ang mga naghihirap nating mga kababayan, sa matagal nang panahon. Sana…
GOD bless the PHILIPPINES!
