Bracket creep

 Bracket results from the non-indexation to inflation of personal income tax brackets since 1997

  • 2014 CPI (139.5) more than double 1998 CPI (67.8)

 purchasing power of peso less than half what it was in 1998

SLIDE 4
  • Because of bracket creep, individual income taxpayer’ have to pay at least

twice as much taxes in 2014 even if their purchasing power has not change

  • Bracket creep is regressive - taxpayers in lower income tax brackets hurt

more than their better-off counterparts

Personal income tax burden higher in Philippine than in other ASEAN countries

  • Top marginal tax rate (tax rate applicable to highest tax bracket) lower

than those of Thailand and Vietnam

  • But, top marginal tax rates tell only half the story – tax rate schedule

and personal tax exemptions just as important

Need for compensatory revenue measures

 One can argue that estimate revenue loss from SB 716 should not be perceived as “revenue loss” and there is need no compensatory measure because these are revenues that should not have been collected anyway  Definitely need compensatory measures to recover revenue loss due to other proposals

24

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Alternative compensatory revenue measures

 VAT – 1 percentage point in VAT rate equivalent to PhP 26.25 billion in revenue given current collection efficiency  Excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages – estimated PhP 30 billion revenue gain from current proposals already filed in Congress  Additional variable excise tax on petroleum products  Increase in MVUC  Repeal of bank secrecy law

Alternative compensatory revenue measures

 There is a concern that applying SB 716 and increasing VAT rate by 2 percentage points will hurt the poor

  • Impact of

simultaneously applying SB 716 & increasing VAT rate by 2% on combined tax liability – positive for taxable income levels below PhP 30,000 and above PhP 3 million

  • If one reduces

bottom PIT rate from 5% to 2.5%, combined tax liability of taxpayers with taxable income levels below PhP 30,000 will be reduced as well
