hmmn, kya pla pagdaan namin ng tollgate khapon nkalagay temporarily suspended ang EVAT.. haay..

just a thought: suspending the e-vat might have its repercussions in the future, without it now, prices of basic commodities will be unrealistically high say after 5-10 years...

We are really inviting a fiscal crisis. If that happens, hyperinflation, business closure, bank run and breakdown of services.

I am pleasantly surprised that some posters here actually have the same view as me... Practically all those who've been posting in the other forums are happy with the TRO.

What the Supreme Court did is wrong and is a MAJOR embarassment for the country. The E-VAT may not be popular but it is a step in the right direction.

direction on wat?

more money to corrupt!

Gov't dont need funds they need to buckle there belt not to corrupt!

Laki nang effect nung sa gas for 2petot - lahat nang bilihin tataas... pati kuryente... ang mahirap lalo maghihirap ang mayaman sigurado maghihirap pwera na lang kung sobra ka yaman!

They dont need to increase the vat they need to increase there vigilant to collect taxes in BIR and the BOC...

Lalo na sa BOC hanep ang corruption dun kahit security gurad kailangan mo lagayn para lumabas ang cargo mo.

God help us!!!

Don't forget the private individals who have been skipping on their fiscal obligations.

If the BIR had been as vigorous in collecting taxes a decade ago, and diligent enough to monitor where those taxes actually go, the E-VAT would have been unnecessary by now.

Monitor input/output tax declaration... even the old vat law they can monitor it easily if they want to press on the companies to pay the right taxes.

Natatawa nga ako may kilala ako company di marunong magbayad nang tama nung inimbiestigahan nang BIR isang linngo halungkat sila sa libro pucha puro halungkat di nakatiis yung Team Leader ang sinabi nag aaksaya lang daw sila pareho nang oras sabi daw nang boss nya 3M lang ayos na daw kaso.

Yun binayaran nang 1.2M tigil malinis pa sila.

Kanino ba pinapatong yung vat na yan diba sa consumer sino nagsusufer dba consumer.

Lets polish first our policy and our attitude bago natin ipasa ang problema sa iba.

We dont need Evat or vat... we need our govt to more or aggressively not to corrupy.

Sa BOC nga kahit malinis papel mo maglalagay ka pa din at iipitin ang carhamento mo ganun ka corrupt dun. kaya ang karamihan nandadaya to compensate dun sa loses na makukuha sa kanila nang mga buwaya.

lahat ayaw sa new taxes, ako ayaw ko rin, hehehe,

ginagatasan talaga mga tao ngayon, Meralco, Tubig, Transpo, nlex, etc etc, may nakikita ba tayo sa binabayad natin? wala, napupunta sa pag bayad sa utang na kinukurakot nila.

Wala nangyayari, wala nag wowork dito sa pinas, maski LRT2, lumulubog literally.

Dami namamatay na negosyo, pag namantay negosyo,sino ngayon itatax nila? di na nga makataas mga prices na paninda dahil sa hirap bumenta, dagdagan pa nila mga expenses,talaga mag sasara na.

The new E-VAT law doesn't increase taxes... it only removes the exemption of some goods & services from being VAT-able.

That is a classic sample why corruption couldn't be killed here... if people / companies do not give in to the demands of this officials then there wouldn't be any more of this. Mandaya kasi dinadaya ako...

>> i agree, but we can't keep blaming the government too. if drastic, measures/reforms must be implemented so that future generations won't suffer much then that doesn't leave us with any choice. GMA should prove this time that she means business, if she wants to earn our trust back then she should quickly draw up some plans that will help push our economy back
