Business World / Chloe Mari A. Hufana / July 3, 2024

Legislator expects Congress to pass motor vehicle tax bill by mid-2025
Business World / Beatriz Marie D. Cruz / July 2, 2024

While the MVUC (motor vehicle user’s charge) is not part of the Legislative Executive Advisory Council’s priority bills, it is one of the “essential taxes” cited in President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s State of the Nation Address last year. Once Congress resumes session, Mr. Salceda said he will conduct hearings to ask all revenue generating agencies what they need to collect more taxes. Lawmakers are on break until July 21. The motor vehicle user’s charge is one of the tax bills the Department of Finance (DoF) is counting on to narrow the National Government’s deficit.

OECD: Philippines hikes tax-to-GDP in 2022 even as regional peers collect more efficiently
Manila Bulletin / July 1, 2024

The Philippines has increased its tax take as a share to the economy in 2022, even as it lagged behind the regional average in collection efficiency. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Revenue Statistics in Asia and the Pacific 2024 report, the Philippines’ tax-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio rose to 18.4 percent in 2022 from 18.1 percent in 2021. The tax-to-GDP ratio reflects how tax and customs authorities efficiently collect revenues to make available financial resources to be spent on public goods and services.
