                    [Summary] => Over a thousand revenue regulations giving tax incentives to various industries are likely to be revoked for overlaps and even obsolescence, the Department of Finance (DOF) said yesterday. 


The findings came from the joint audit of the DOF and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) that sought to evaluate thousands of revenue regulations on tax incentives. 


Finance Undersecretary Gracia P. Tan said that the regulations gave tax incentives to various industries but some of them either overlapped or contradicted subsequent regulations.

                    [Summary] => Desperate for additional revenues, the Arroyo administration plans to impose a 10-year limit on the income tax discounts being enjoyed by export-oriented companies located in special economic zones.


A proposal being drafted by the Department of Finance effectively requires ecozone firms to pay the standard 32 percent corporate income tax once the 10-year period has lapsed.


The tax discount is the primary incentive offered by the Philippine Export Processing Authority (PEZA) to attract investors and spur export-oriented businesses within the ecozones.
