EVAT sa petroleum products dapat nga bang tanggalin?

[dbuzz]

Surely lahat sa atin ay magsasabing dapat ngang tanggalin ang EVAT... but hey!!! teka... timbangin nga natin muna...

Sabi nga ni Sen Mar Roxas eh sa ngayon, 6 pesos daw sa diesel at 66pesos per cylinder of lpg ang mabawas kung tanggalin ang EVAT.

Pero sabi ng [SIZE=2]Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ay "AYAW" kasi yung 4 billion pesos of the expected 18-billion peso proceeds from the EVAT on petroleum products would be returned to the people in the form of cash transfer loans and scholarships.

-Sabi nga eh palso ito dahil papabango lang ito ng mga taong admin. ngunit higit sa lahat [/SIZE][SIZE=2]ay may mga mawawala dito at mapunta lang sa bulsa ng hayok na mandurugas na officials. yung style na suli-suli -[/SIZE][SIZE=2]returned to the people[/SIZE][SIZE=2] na yan gaya ng sa balik korente na 500pesos ay prone sa tagas at corruption yan eh.

[/SIZE][SIZE=2]Teka... kahapon eh ibinalita na Pinas lang sa boung Asia ang may pinakamura na petrolem products.[/SIZE]

Tama in the sense not the Philippines has gained a lot of ground in terms of its financial credibility in the past few years.

pag inalis ang EVAT, babagsak ang credit rating ng Pinas

nagpapapogi lang yan si roxas.

kung seryoso siya, dapat sinabi din niya kung san niya kukunin yung mawawalang kita pag inalis yung VAT. ndi pwede sasabhin mo na bababa ang presyo tapos ndi mo babangitin yung epek sa national budget. ibig sabihin nagpapaogi sa tao.

I voted no, it will f*#! us up even more....

EVAT is not the cause of increasing fuel prices. Leave it as it is. Sana lang, it will be sincerely returned to the people and not to the pockets of some government officials. It will cussion impact of decreasing tax & increasing salary of government employees. Kawawa lang ang nasa private sector at wala pa umento since time immemorial!!

[niky]

Hmmm... slit our throats and lower prices or keep them high and let the people grumble... let's see...

[uls]

The govt could be pressured to suspend EVAT on fuel.

Umeksena na kasi ang simbahan Katoliko...

[shadow]

GMA can do it actually since her term will end soon anyway, and just leave the problem to the next administration...but I think the right thing to do is not to suspend it...

whatever discounts we can get from the suspension is just temporary...prices are dictated by outside forces..so if the fuel price continues to rise, what will the public demand next? get it for free?

[uls]

the public will demand price controls.

Govt gives in.

Philippines = Zimbabwe

+1 ako sa inyo. tama po yan.

At other thing pa, pag dating sa mga single passenger lang doon sa mga malalaking SUV's and gas thirsty vehicles, nobody has come out with a reliable estimate of how much gasoline and diesel fuel gets burned merely as waste on our roads, but it would be safe to say na sa EDSA lang, the figure runs into millions of liters annually. So buti nga yun na medyo mabawasan ang mga katulad nila sa kalsada.

Then si Sen. Mar Roxas nga is calling for a suspension of the 12 percent EVAT on gasoline and other oil products in order to “spare Filipinos from the effects of skyrocketing oil prices.”......
.......His well-known ambition to run for president in 2010 obviously explains his dangerous populism—but as a trained economist, he ought to know better. hindi yung dakdak na lang.

Keeping oil artificially cheap—through an indirect state subsidy, which an EVAT suspension actually amounts to—would not only distort free market forces. It will also sustain demand at current levels and, worse, further abet wasteful consumption.

In the end the only beneficiaries of political measures “to keep oil prices within the reach of consumers” are the oil companies, which are thus assured of hefty Return Of Investments. just my one [SIZE=1]send.[/SIZE]

[coiter]

i vote not to suspend. but perhaps they can make it a fixed amount instead and not a percentage para hindi naman exponential ang dagdag nya sa price.

[badsekktor]

it would be bad for our country to totally scrap evat as a whole...

but scrapping evat from petroleum products, might ease us a little bit.
