PH lawmaker proposes to withhold passport of ‘non-remitting’ OFWs

[badkuk]

hmm not sure whether this is in the BIR's jurisdiction. afaik taxes only apply only if you do work/business/make money here in PH.

imho the government should be kissing the *$$es of OFWs. If not for them a lot more people would not have money, no education, etc. They feed their families so the government doesn't have to further squeeze the working class for more money.

And that supposedly "strong peso" we have? Who do you think is raking in US$'s for PH? Exports? Yeah, export of human resources

Maybe they can subject this to be an OFW income,therefore need to fill up ITR which in turn is taxable,hope not

[confused shoes]

Lalong pahihirapan ang mga low earner na contract OFWs na mga sunudsunuran lang.

Yung mga smarter higher paid OFWs (some called them expats), kahit anong gawin ng POEA/BIR, di mahahabol yan.

Dapat ang pagtuunan nila ng pansin eh ung corruption, red tape atbp. Gawing efficient ang tax collection. Electronics thru banking ang pagbayad ng tax para more efficient.

Pag napasa yung bill, yung mga walang kamaganak sa pinas na pa padalhan ng remittances, eh sa kin nyo na lang po padala para makakuha kayo ng passport, hahaha.

But seriously, passport is a basic right of every Filipino. So I don't think papasa to sa supreme court.

OFWs are tax exempt sa Pinas as one of their privilage. Some pay their taxes on their host country depending on the income bracket.

PH lawmaker proposes to withhold passport of ?non-remitting? OFWs |



parang sablay itong bill, or maybe because im not an OFW kaya di ko maintindihan. ano ba kaibahan ng passport ng OFW vs pinoy tourist? Eh kung wag mo sabahing OFW ka? Saka anong pake mo tongressman kung san dalhin/gamitin ng OFW ang pinaghirapan nya?

at any rate, source of corruption na naman ito.

This is illegal and even tantamount to blackmail.

The proposed bill simply reflects the kind of IQ of the person who wrote it.

Adobo then BIR Add attacking Doctors, and now OFW blackmail na.
