Click here to read the article on a tax holiday


bir's Henares truly has an onerous tax system.
the main victims?  me. you.  the salaried employees who have no choice but to be taxed, grossly.
off the top.  i feel abused.

i am a PWD, that is, a person with disability.  my meds cost me over 30k .... ouch, really.
and the government, and PNOY and HENARES does not give me, and others like me a tax break.
taxes me like any regular person..  evil people i think sometimes.  unselfish too are thoughts that run in my mind.  COMEON!

and here you have government - corrupt in so many areas in so many ways

Paging President P-Noy and Commish Kim Henares

Let us talk Environment. and only Environment.

Think of all the trees that had to be cut to generate all that paper that BIR has apparently ordered destroyed to assist in the collection of correct taxes.  why do these documents have to be destroyed? cant BIR just stamped them to be good enough for more years?  i dont know, but there must be a better solution than simple destruction and great wastage.  there are brilliant minds, go mine these minds.  drop by the Philippine Science Main Campus and ask for ideas,,,,,,

i already have a beef with BIR because i am over-taxed, i am taxed as a regular single person when i am, in fact, also recognized by the government as a physically disabled person.  my meds and my pt are expensive, and yet, i have to pay for all my meds that a regular person does not have to.....

there is another bill in congress that persons taking care of disabled persons will have a greater exemption amount, BUT the disabled person who is working gets no break at all.  i ask where is the justice in that?

is this the daan na matuwid i hear so much about?  doesnt seem that way to me......does it seem that way to you?

also, i read the post by ducky paredes and the infamous MWSS  - they are still getting the perks..... so again? where is the justice?

i am hoping that there will be a light somewhere

FOR PRESIDENT AQUINO AND THE BIR

i want to ask why the working disabled is discriminated against by the government, most particularly the BIR

POSTULATE: 

The Government discriminates against the revenue-earning disabled.

PROOF:

The disabled already is burdened with his physical concerns, and many of them require medication, special equipment, or special treatment (physical therapy) .  SENIORS ENJOY A TAX-FREE DISCOUNT.  PWDS HAVE TO PAY TAX.

THOSE PWDS WHO ARE EARNING ARE TAXED IN THE SAME WAY AS REGULAR PERSONS.  THOSE WHO SUFFER NO DISABILITY.

CONCLUSION: 

THE GOVERNMENT IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE DISABLED.




                                                                                           
 

Are you disabled? or have a loved one who is?

if you are and you find it difficult to access government buildings, or if they do not provide sufficient access to the disabled, please report them.  by law, government buildings must provide access to the disabled.

also, if any employee of that institution ridicule or yell at disabled persons and you bear witness to this abuse, you may likewise report the employer.  i do think it is best to complain to the media, since - like he-man, they have the power. *grins*

i was at the North door of the SSS building.  Just in case you did not know it, this entrance/exit provides disabled access.  It has a ramp for those in wheelchairs.  Also, there are fewer steps up than the main entrance if the disabled person can manage the stairs.

at any rate, an SSS employee - she was in uniform - was screaming at the driver of a tricycle for letting off passengers by the stairs, and it seems that SSS issued a memorandum where passengers can disembark.  What this SSS employee ignored -  is that the person exiting the trike was disabled, managing by utilizing a cane.

i wanted to report this woman, this SSS employee for being discourteous, and for harassing a person, a member with disability. there is a disability law that disallows persons to harangue, abuse, or make fun of disabled persons.

it is unbecoming of a government employee to harass persons with disability as this person was certainly doing.  she should be censored by their human resource head.  Perhaps it is time for SSS to remind their employees to practice courteous behavior. 

as for this employee, i decided not to report her for one main reason - one day she will pay her debts, and i did not want to be responsible for her possible reprimand, or possible admin case .....

RA 10524

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)
