Mas mainam na habulin ng gobyerno ang mga hindi pa nakokolektang buwis dahil sa korapsiyon sa halip na magpataw ng buwis sa paggamit ng plastic at pagbili online, ayon kay Senador Francis ‘Chiz’ Escudero.
“It’s always easier to go for imposing new, or increasing whatever existing, taxes in order to raise revenues for gov’t. However, this is burdensome and is not in keeping with the times (of slow economic growth, increased unemployment and rising inflation),” sabi ni Escudero sa kanyang text message.
“I think the first order of business for the new Finance Secretary is to plug loopholes, clean up and make collection of existing taxes and duties by the BIR and BOC,” dagdag pa ng senador, patungkol sa Bureau of Internal Revenue at Bureau of Customs.
Sa kasalukuyan ay may P200 bilyong ‘uncollected taxes’ ang gobyerno, sabi pa ni Escudero, dating chairman ng Senate committee on ways and mean.
“With nearly P200B in uncollected taxes lost to either corruption and/or inefficiency, this is by far more than any projected revenue of the new taxes he is mulling,” ayon kay Escudero.
Una rito ay sinabi ni Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno na ang pagbuwis sa paggamit ng plastic at pagbili online ay ilan sa mga revenue measure na kinokonsidera ng kanyang tanggapan.
May ilang senador naman ang pabor sa naturang panukala. (Dindo Matining)
