The House Committee on Ways and Means approved on Monday, May 10, the grant of hazard pay to members of the government prosecution service even as it rejected a Department of Finance bid to subject the allowance to outright income tax deduction.
Instead, the ways and means panel chaired by Albay Rep. Joey Sarte-Salceda agreed to impose tax on hazard pay amount in excess of a P90,000 cap.
The committee approved the still unnumbered version of a consolidated bill lifted from legislative proposals filed by Reps. Rufus Rodriguez (CDI, Cagayan de Oro City) and Ruwel Peter Gonzaga (PDP-Laban, Davao de Oro).
