Now that the proposed tax on text messaging has been indefinitely shelved, the government may soon impose a "sex" tax on motels in an effort to avert the looming fiscal crisis, Albay Rep. Joey Salceda said yesterday.


Salceda, a member of President Arroyo’s Economic Managers Group, said the government is contemplating the imposition of presumptive taxation on motels, which have been raking in huge profits without remitting the proper amount of taxes.
