Opposition senator
Risa Hontiveros is now venting on the fact that the Bureau of Internal Revenue
(BIR) would like to open a new stream of taxes as regards the numerous online
sellers now in the country.
In her June 17 Facebook
post, senator Risa said:
“Naging magulo para
sa mga online sellers ang memo mula sa BIR. Mabuti pang bawiin, i-review, at
i-rewrite muna ng ahensiya ang guidelines na nilabas nila.

As of today, RMC
60-2020 is still enforceable. Strictly speaking, its text still mandates all,
including small online sellers, to register with the BIR,” she explained.
“Magandang magdeklara muna ang BIR ng moratorium sa pagpapa-register ng online
sellers at bawiin muna ang mga guidelines sa ilalim ng RMC 60-2020, habang nasa
panahon tayo ng krisis.
The country’s
economic recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic is driving millions into
unemployment. Many Filipinos are turning to online selling to make ends meet.
We should not punish them with confusing guidelines and hefty fees.
Dapat maging malinaw sa BIR circular ang mga
exemptions para sa mga small online sellers at para sa mga nag-o-online selling
bilang pantawid ngayong marami ang nawalan ng trabaho at kita.
If the circular is still enforced and if we are to
strictly follow government policy, online sellers will have to shell out at
least PhP 2,260 pesos each just to register,” Hontiveros said. “DTI
certification, BIR’s own registration fee, and payment for printing of receipts
will cost roughly 2,260 pesos in total.”
May dagdag-gastos din na at least 1,500 pesos kung
magpapa-imprenta ulit ng resibo. May pwedeng dagdag-gastos din sa pag-file ng
financial report quarterly. Mahirap yan para sa isang small-time online seller
na dapat ay may proper documentation na ang kita niya ay less than 250,000
pesos annually,”
Imbes na matulungan
ang ating mga online sellers, mas lalo pa silang mamumulubi dahil sa laki ng
gastos nila sa registration at para maiwasan ang penalties ng BIR.
Sa panahon ng COVID-19 crisis at ginagawang pantawid-kita ang online
selling, pahirap ang kasalukuyang requirements ng BIR sa ating mga kababayan,”
