- Senate Bill No. 1851 proposes reducing the standard VAT rate in the Philippines from 12% to 10% for most goods, properties, and services.
- The 12% VAT rate would be retained for specified non-essential and non-basic goods and services.
- Stricter invoicing and reporting requirements would be implemented for transactions involving different VAT rates.
- Failure to separately state applicable VAT rates on invoices would result in the highest rate being applied to all taxable items.
- The bill has been accepted for consideration and will proceed through the Senate’s legislative process.
