Expanded VAT

[nicolodeon]

Guys, tama ba yung nadinig ko sa radyo kanina lang ng kaunti? I-implement na daw ang e-VAT/VAT (or whatever you want to term it) bukas? Kasi parang nadinig ko eh ang SC nag-rule na in favor of the new VAT.

my take on the matter is that:

1. the SC will rule the evat passed by congress as constitutional since taxation is within the power of congress. in the absence of any violation of the constitution, the separation of the three branches of government must be respected

2. the standy power of pandak arroyo to increase the tax is not constitutional since the power to tax is vested in congress and cannot be delegated

of course, until i read the decision, hula ko lang yung sa itaas

pwede bang tanggalin ng SC ang standby power ni gma to increase the tax by january? or ipapa-amend lang ng SC sa congress?

Hinanap ko sa mga on-line news agencies pero wala naman silang name-mention.

Ah, nakita ko na sa news. Ngayon lang sila magru-ruling:

taena pati kuryente tataas na pakshet

[nicolodeon]

Kuryente, petroleum products, canned goods (kasi tataas ang price ng tin plates) and some other stuff. Hay nako...kawawang Juan Dela Cruz. I just hope na yung ma-co-collect ng BIR na added revenues eh sa mabuti mapupunta at hindi sa bulsa nila.

I can see darker days ahead of us... Malamang magalburuto na ang mga tao nyan once na ipinatong na ang evat sa commodities.
