Posibleng aabot daw ang palitan ng peso at dolyar, P65 = 1USD (currently, P61.35=1USD). Lubhang maaapektuhan lalo tayo dahil sa pag devalue ng ating pera. Ibig sabihin mas liliit ang value ng P500 at mas kokonti ang ating pwedeng mabili nito, habang pataas namang ng pataas ang inflation at presyo ng mga bilihin.

Bukod dito, kapag nagpatuloy pa ang pagtaas ng Peso vs Dolyar na palitan, mas maraming Foreign investors ang aalis sa Pilipinas.

Sama sama po tayong magdasal, na sana'y malagpasan natin ang mga haharapin nating unos. At the same time, maging mapagmasid po tayo mga kababayan sa nangyayari sa ating Bansa.

I think a better idea would be to penalize those who post fake discounts, fraudulent marketing, false promises. Slap them with huge fines.

Salamat naman po at hindi ito matutuloy! But the fact that there was a draft, that there was indeed a plan, I cannot truly understand.

Nevertheless, I am hopeful that our government's policies would remain future-ready. ๐Ÿ‘Š

NO to the additional Advertising Permit for Entrepreneurs, please. P975-P9k per ad across all platforms on top of Taxes is a burden for everyone.

As the Chairman for Trade & Commerce in the Sanggunian Panlungsod - Lucena City, I am sworn to uphold policies that will greatly benefit our Entrepreneurs and Local Businesses, Big or Small, Online Sellers included, the same as protecting our consumers.

Should the new Department Order Proposal by DTI materialize, I (respectfully) strongly oppose this and would encourage all our concerned Public Officials in the Locality, Quezon Province and the country to do the same.

Please see statement:

"Nananawagan po tayo sa Nasyonal na pamahalaan - Huwag na po sana natin dagdagan ng panibagong bayarin ang mga Businesses, including the legitimate Small, Medium Enterprises and Online Sellers, Big or Small, natin sa pag a-Advertisement. Lubhang masakit na po ang kanilang pinagdaraanan ngayon sa Inflation, existing taxes at sa additional Digital services tax.

โ€‹Sa pag transact palang po ng Kita nila (cash in or cash out) sa mga Convenience stores or pawnshop outlets ay bawas na ang kanilang pera ng additional 2% na pinapataw ng mga Platforms at may convenience fees pa po.

โ€‹Dagdag pa rito, ang social media advertisement ang natitirang "buhay" o pinaka-affordable na paraan para makasabay ang ating mga lokal na negosyante sa mga malalaking korporasyon. Kung lalagyan pa natin ito ng panibagong pasanin, parang pinilayan na rin natin ang kakayahan nilang lumago at makabawi sa hirap ng panahon. Ang bawat piso na idadagdag sa cost ng ads ay bawas sa kakarampot na kita na ipinapakain nila sa kanilang pamilya.

โ€‹Kung titingnan po natin ang ibang bansa, baligtad ang direksyon ng kanilang mga polisiya. Sa halip na dagdagan ng singilin, binibigyan nila ng proteksyon at "breathing room" ang kanilang mga micro and small enterprises upang makasabay sa digital economy:

โ€‹๐†๐ฅ๐จ๐›๐š๐ฅ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ง: ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐Ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐„๐œ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐’๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ

Ang mga bagong rehistradong maliliit na kumpanya ay may tax exemptions o malaking bawas sa buwis sa kanilang unang 100,000 hanggang 200,000 Singapore Dollars na kita upang matiyak na makaka-survive sila sa unang mga taon.

Ibig sabihin, hinahayaan muna ng gobyerno na lumaki ang pondo ng maliliit na online sellers bago sila singilin ng buwis sa personal na kita.

โญ•๏ธ โ€‹๐”๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐Š๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ & ๐„๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ง ๐”๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐•๐€๐“ ๐“๐ก๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ): Sa UK at maraming bansa sa EU, mayroong tinatawag na "VAT registration threshold." Hindi obligadong magbayad o mag-remit ng Value Added Tax (VAT) ang isang online business hangga't hindi umaabot ang kanilang taunang benta sa isang mataas na halaga (halimbawa, ยฃ90,000 sa UK). Protektado ang mga "hobbyist sellers" at maliliit na online shops mula sa mabigat na tax compliance habang nagsisimula pa lang.

โ€‹Sana ay tularan natin ang mga ganitong klaseng inobasyon sa polisiyaโ€”kung saan ang layunin ay alagaan at palakihin muna ang maliliit, bago sila asahan na magpasan ng malalaking bayarin. Ang paglago ng ating mga online sellers, small-medium entrepreneurs ay paglago rin ng ating lokal na ekonomiya.

Patuloy po nating ipaglaban ang kapakanan ng ating mga local entrepreneurs!"
