what is not really tackled upon by the govt and even in the media is the additional 10% VAT on carriers (like shipping, airline - sa trucking i think dati pa meron)..

think of it this way... most of the consumer goods need to be transported.. archipelago ang pilipinas so talagang kailangan itawid ng dagat.. hindi lahat ng kumpanya kaya magtayo ng planta sa bawat island ng pilipinas... kaya kailangan idaan sa barko... now with the EVAT tataas yan.. pati airline... plane tickets may get cheaper when you go 2 way to hongkong than say you go domestic dahil tataas dahil sa VAT

kaya nga ang sarap kumita nyan para sa taga-gobyerno, VAT ng VAT kada kilos, transport, transaction, consumption.

it's the mother of all profits! d mo na kelangan marketing materials, marketing strategies, marketing etc ... handed to them in a silver platter. kahit .01 percent lang i-corrupt dyan ok na, coz sobrang laki kapag energy ang involved
