Philippine Senate Proposes Automatic Suspension of Fuel VAT, Excise Taxes During Oil Price Surges

  • The Philippine Senate is considering a bill to automatically suspend the 12% VAT and excise taxes on fuel when global oil prices reach USD 80 per barrel or higher.
  • The suspension would remain until prices fall below the threshold, aiming to protect consumers from inflation caused by fuel price spikes.
  • The bill amends sections of the National Internal Revenue Code related to VAT and excise taxes on fuel.
  • The Secretary of Finance must issue implementing regulations within 30 days of the law’s effectivity.
  • If enacted, the law will take effect 15 days after publication in the Official Gazette or two newspapers.
