Propose A Law

[Shadow Minister]

Vat is different from Annual Income tax, You have no choice for VAT, it is included on all products, while ITR filling is an option. you opt not to pay then you opt not to vote per se.

 

kung marerealize ng lahat ng Pilipino na lahat tayo nag cocontribute by means of ITR (well maybe change it to MANDATORY TAX RETURN since ITR means INCOME TAX RETURN and not all has income) maiisip nila kung san napunta yung Php 365.25 pesos nila.

 

 

 

VAT (value added tax) is still a tax. A government runs on taxes. Tax can take up different forms - real estate, VAT, corporate, etc. and not just income tax. Therefore, as long as you pay any of these types of taxes, then you are a taxpayer and you contribute to the operations of the government. And gaya ng sinabi mo, only TAXPAYERS should be allowed to vote (not just income tax payers).

 

Walang bearing kahit merong iba na "volunteer" kuno magbayad ng income tax. Malamang lumulusot lang ang mga yan at di alam ng BIR. Pero kung alam ng BIR ang ginagawa mo at pasok sa taxable items yun, you are obligated to pay taxes. Or else, BIR will sue you for tax evasion. Paying taxes is compulsory. Wala kang lusot dyan. There is no legal option not to pay up. Otherwise if you can volunteer to file and pay income tax, then everybody would not do it as it benefits them (more take home money, especially here in the country where money is very important). Will the gov't want that too? No, because they'll lose revenue.

You are mistaken to think that filing your income tax is optional. It is not voluntary. It is mandatory. If you or the company you work for doesn't file your income tax, the government will run after you and your employer. If you are self employed, e.g. a balut vendor, and you earn above the minimum income level set by the BIR, you have to file your ITR, too.

 

But Income Tax is only one of the many forms of taxes collected by the government. Value Added Tax, Professional Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Sales Tax, Real Estate Tax, Excise Tax (on cigarettes and booze), Road Tax, etc...

 

Everybody pay taxes in one way or another even without them knowing it. Everybody --- even those who don't file ITRs (students, farmers, senior citizens, fish ball and balut vendors, etc...)

 

That is why those who say that only those who pay their income taxes should be allowed to vote are wrong.

Kung may paid maternity at paternity leaves, dapat may paid "date leave credits" din para sa mga single, available at ready to mingle na tax-paying individuals, para may quality time silang lumandi 😜

Death penalty sa govenrnment high officia na corrupt at mag nanakaw. At pag napatunayan dapat kuningnlahat ng ariarian equivalent sa nacorrupt includig assest of first consanguinity. Para walang magluko sa pamilya nila.

[haroots2]

Bring back death penalty first and the rest will follow.

Also amend the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act. R.A. # 9344.

Not a law, but changes in our basic law (constitution), like shifting to federal system, para mas empowered ang mga regions outside metro manila to develop themselves at para madecongest na din ang NCR. And to shift to parliamentary system to enable a more competitive political environment that will push politicians to deliver.

Ung tax natin sa net na kukuhanin hindi sa gross. Kaya dapat lahat ng utang mo ay salary deduction, para accounted for din.

 

Every regular employee ng isang company may tax discount ang company mismo. This will promote regualrization of employees.

 

Kapag ang international manufacturing company e dito gumagawa, pwede cyang magbenta ng products nya on a discounted sa tax. Example kung dito ginagawa ang toyota vios, pwede nya ibenta ang car sa Pinas at a discounted tax.

Here in our country, there are some authorities who are too lax with their obligations. Like for instance in a suburban or even in rural areas where some altercation or squabble is part of their daily life, I think the Mutual Combat Law is somewhat imperative. It is a consensual fight between two people with a cop being a referee. What does it constitute? More here.

there should be a qualifying requirement to run for LAW MAKERS.

for Gods sake, there are requirements to hold govt positions why not law makers????

there is an exam given by universities and colleges before they can accept students....why is there none for law makers?

 

right now, basic requirement is magaling ka magnakaw???? this is even exercised in the barangay level??? huh?

actors and actresses should not be allowed to run for elected govt positions.... they have so much media exposure that their opponents do not have....

 

may sound discriminatory but it is the other way around if you look at it closely....

 

ponder.....

Vilma Santos did good in Lipa. I feel you Bruh, marami rami din artistang sablay, pero meron din naman pasado performance.

 

Nung kasing tumakbo si Vilma, di talaga yan halos nagartista at nagaral ng husto, kaya maganda accomplishments nya.

 

Siguro mas maganda ibawal yun mga walang schooling.

Declare Requiring of Exit Clearances for OFWs unconstitutional.

 

Our freedom to abode is constitutionally protected long as wala naman hold departure order from DOJ.

 

Its a clearance! And yet not one bureaucratic monkey in NAIA can explain what exactly we are being cleared from. Kaya nga clearance di ba? Para daw yun sa tax exemption at libre na terminal fee... WTF? Then why call it a clearance?

 

Parang nakakaloko naman Gobyerno eh, hindi ka nga magbabayad ng travel tax pero sisingilin ka naman sa OWWA at kung ano ano pang fees. Kung susumahin eh halos parehoy na din lang naman babayaran mo, pumila ka pa ng katakot takot. Eh bat di na lang kami singilin kasi ng tax at fees at huwag na kami abalahin?
