Tax exemption sa allowance, Transportation Safety Board ‘ibinasura’ ni Marcos

I-VINETO ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos ang panukalang naglalayong magbigay ng tax exemptions para sa honoraria, allowance, at iba pang benepisyo ng mga manggagawang naglilingkod sa panahon ng halalan.

“The President vetoed House Bill No. 9652/Senate Bill No. 2520 entitled an “Act Exempting from income taxation the honoraria, allowances, and other financial benefits of persons rendering service during an election period,” ayon kay Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles.

“The measure runs counter to the objective of the government’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program to correct the inequity in the country’s tax system and negate the progressivity of the reforms introduced under RA 10963 or the TRAIN law. Moreover, the studies of pertinent government agencies on the revenue loss is too substantial an impact to be foregone,” dagdag pa niya.

Ibinasura rin ni Marcos ang panukalang batas na lumilikha ng Philippine Transportation Safety Board (PTSB), ayon kay Cruz-Angeles.

“The President says that the functions intended for the aforementioned Safety Board are already being undertaken by different agencies under the DOTr as well as the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation. Creating a new body will only ‘create functional duplication, confusion as to authority, ineffectiveness, and deficiency in the performance of the responsibilities,” sinabi niya.
