Ford’s CKD exports, however, would not be entitled to any incentives from the government.

                    [Summary] => At least two American automotive manufacturers do not agree with the Arroyo government’s plan to revise the tax imposed on motor vehicles.


The Board of Investments (BOI) is seriously considering the imposition of a flat excise tax of 15 percent on passenger cars and motor vehicles carrying up to 10 people.


Asian  utility vehicles, though, will still be exempt from the tax. At present, the government imposes an excise tax based on engine displacement.
