HBO Max subscription tier pricing in the Philippines updated

Listen to article

HBO Max subscription tier pricing has been updated in the Philippines. The streaming platform is fairly new in the country, only arriving late last year. Notably, prices have not been adjusted to reflect the Digital Service Law.

Also known as Republic Act 12023, digital services have had 12% value-added tax slapped on top of pricing, effective June 2. This includes streaming platforms, online stores, and more.

This makes it one of the most competitively priced streaming services for now. Below are a couple of tables that reflect monthly and yearly prices for the platform.

For those curious about the platform’s catalog, HBO Max offers a selection of first-party and third-party titles. This includes Dune, Game of Thrones, and The White Lotus.

We’ll update readers with another article should HBO Max provide pricing adjustments as the Digital Service Law continues to persist.

Isn’t HBO, YouTube and the like considered American export? Tariffs and taxes are the same animal with different clothing. The Philippines should not be imposing these taxes. Now we know who is hard on the people. This government. The US should be notified of these imposition.
