what.the.hell.
BIR won’t impose tax on relief goods if coursed through gov’t agencies
How does that work? So kelangan pang magpa accredit ang UK, US, Japanese govts. sa DSWD/NDRRMC?
So let's say the entity is *not* accredited, or doesn't go through the NDRRMC/DSWD -- they donate US$1m, so US$880k lang mapupunta sa victims, and the BIR gets US$120k? How and from whom will they get the US$120k?
How about the first respondents? Do they get taxed as well? So let's say they donate canned goods, how does the taxation work?
Can the NDRRMC/DSWD handle the paperwork/auditing that comes with that?
And why are we talking about VAT in the first place? There is
no sale that takes place, kaya nga donation ang tawag dun.
Madness. Sheer, utter, motherf*cking madness. If there's an 8th deadly sin, red tape should be it.
