The House of Representatives has approved a bill that imposes value added tax (VAT) on foreign or non-resident digital service providers. "Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous to our local digital service providers which pay VAT," he said. Salceda said that VAT on foreign digital services is expected to raise PHP 9 billion in government revenues. Gabriela party-list Representative Arlene Brosas, however, pointed out that imposing VAT will mean additional expenses to consumers and prefers to tax corporations rather than consumption-based services. The Department of Finance (DOF) has collected nearly PHP 7 billion from the new 12 percent value-added tax (VAT) imposed on digital services. The Marcos administration is reaching for PHP 21.37 billion in digital VAT revenue for 2026.
