MANILA, PHILIPPINES â Media OutReach â 12 April 2021 â The Philippines has enacted a landmark law that cuts corporate income tax by as much as 10 percent and rationalizes fiscal incentives, thereby serving as the biggest stimulus for businesses in the countryâs history.
On March 26, President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11534 or the âCorporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Actâ (CREATE) into law after a joint Philippine Congressional panel ratified it in February.
With the new law, the Philippine government is providing about P1 trillion (nearly JPY2.3 trillion) worth of tax relief to businesses over the next 10 years.
