Ano sa tingin nyo?

[ClaNker]

Taxes?

Daming pera nila congressman, governor, mayor, pati ng mga counsilor. Sila pa nga nag finance ng mga government projects eh. Tingnan mo na lang mga government projects puro picture nila even ambulances may picture din nila.

[kinyo]

nahiya pa lahatin?

[1D4LV]

kaya, technically, it means that employees subsidize these people. wala tayong choice eh.

[jodski]

If ever they would start scrapping the PDAF and put something in place na mas transparent is one step that other people will reconsider

[andywesteast]

Patas lang.

90% of all politicians steal.

I think they are pulling figures out of thin air. Giving that kind of statement is controversial and makes people pay attention which is what I think they want but seriously, I think we are overtaxed. Let's say my tax rate is 32% and since they expanded the VAT, I now have to pay 12% tax on almost everything else including association dues for the village I live in. All in all, I am paying 44% which means that from January 1 until June 9, everything I earn goes to the Government's coffers and from June 10, whatever I earn is for myself. Quite frankly, with the services available and the quality of these services, I think I am getting the short end of the stick out of being a Filipino citizen. It annoys me more than when I do try to avail myself of Government services, the way a lot of Government officials behave is quite callous and condescending and not really accommodating.

Mmm... When they say Philippine professionals, I assume they mean regular employees right? Well, I'm a regular guy who goes to the office and works hard. When I get my pay cheque, it is already net of taxes, SSS and whatever else the Government wants to deduct. How can they make sweeping statements like that?

they mean practicing professionals, the self employed ones and not those who are employed and eligible for substituted filing

^ professionals, meaning doctors, lawyers, engineers and architects (not employed but charge a fee for their services, like when building a house or surveying a piece of land), dentists, accountants (freelance or have their own private practice), etc. yung "professional" na sallaried employee e hindi yan yung tinutukoy ni henares.

e nakakahiya naman kasi na after gawin kang pogi ng dentist mo, o gamutin ng doctor yung anak mo, e hihingi ka ng resibo. o kaya pag lawyer, matapos kang ilabas sa kulungan hihingian mo ba siya ng resibo, syempre hindi. kaya ganyan na ang reported income nila e mababa.

Bakit? Kulang pa rin yung pera ni Napoles?

Sino bang hindi manghihinayang magbayad ng tax pag nakikita mo kung saan napupunta.

nakana mo sir!

[e-bundok]

90% huh? i bet henares doesn't even know where that statistic came from. and she's also on cloud nine that there are one too many among the BIR's ranks who are as corrupt as the devil. show the working Juan tangible beneficial developments on a community level and i bet every Juan will obligingly pay his dues with a smile.

[yebo]

apparently they do know.

[userfriendly]

I'd like to know how much elected officials pay in taxes.

Got it gents. They were pertaining to the self-employed people who get licensed at the PRC. I remember the BIR did investigations in a province up North and they charged doctors millions in back taxes.

[e-bundok]

apparently they do know.

baka naman the population universe of those ratios dates back to who-knows-when. hehehe. which makes the total number of self employed professionals in Makati actually a lot less than what BIR thinks.

besides, self-employed individuals have the liberty of watering down their declared income to serve their purposes, tax or otherwise. why give some to feed an unscrupulous gov't bureaucracy?

makes me wonder how much those corporate big leagues launder through charity or religious groups. yun dapat habullin ni henares.

Early in the morning uminit na ulo ko. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Sa BIR yung mga nagbabayad ng tama yun ang laging pinapasyalan samantalang yung hindi nagbabayad ng tama wala silang pakelam
