The government will be able to settle tax refunds owed to Japanese contractors under grant-assisted projects but refund claims under loan-funded projects would have to be through reconciliation.


The government still owes Japanese contractors a total of P810 million in tax refunds broken down into about P75 million in tax refunds grant-assisted projects and about P736 million worth of claims under projects funded under the yen loans from the Japanese government.

                    [Summary] => 



The government is eyeing possible funding from the Japan Export Import Bank (Jexim) for its power sector reform program as discussions started on the 27th Japan yen loan package.


Finance officials disclosed yesterday that the government has officially asked the government of Japan to assist in the implementation of the program, made even more critical by imminent power shortage by 2008.


According to the Department of Finance (DOF), the Philippine government officially inquired on the possibility of Japanese participation in financing the program.
