Makabulig ang pagpatuman sang withholding tax sa online sellers agud malab-ot sang Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) ang target sini para sa 2025.
“It will be easier for us [to attain the goal] if the online process goes well. We expect that there will be a lot of transactions online, and we’ve seen that while the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s tax efficiency is improving,” suno kay Tax chief Romeo Lumagui Jr.
“The collections are not as high, because many purchases have shifted from traditional to online. So, there are many transactions online that the BIR isn’t capturing, that’s why we are focusing on taxing those on online platforms,” dugang sini.
Base sa Budget of Expenditures and Sources of Financing for fiscal year 2025, may mandu sa bureau nga magkolekta sang P3.23 trillion sa masunod nga tuig nga mas mataas sa P3.05 trillion subong nga tuig.
Kumpyansa naman si Lumagui nga malab-ot nila ang target bangud mas madamo nga projects kag programs ang ila nahimo agud mapasaka ang revenues.
Matandaan nga gin-implementar sang bureau ang 1.0-percent withholding tax sa online platform providers umpisa sang nagligad nga bulan.
