Wow. Did i call it or what....didnt i just post something on this last April 30? But the doing, or the teeth of such an Act depends on its implementing guidelines. Filipinos are over-taxed because regular employees are taxed under the Gross Income Scheme, and yet, we pay real estate taxes with monies that have been already grossly taxed and poor working PWDs are even worse off, they are over-over-taxed. No additional benefit because they work and no VAT relief on the medicines they have to purchase, unlike the Seniors?
Burdens upon burdens indeed.
However, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and this Act depends on the IRR that will be drawn up hopefully soon.
The agencies involved in drafting the IRR are:
DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment)
CSC (Civil Service Commission)
NCDA (National Council on Disability Affairs)
GCG (Governance Commission for Goverment-Owned or Government-Controlled Corporations
DOH (Department of Health)
DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development)
and the most burdensome agency
BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue)
