#stock trading tax

Dubbed the Capital Markets Efficiency Promotion Act (CMEPA), this law cuts down taxes on stock trades and investments to make the Philippine market more attractive—both for local investors and foreigners. Here’s the gist: Stock transaction tax is slashed from 0.6% to 0.1%. 2025-0026, the stock transaction tax (“STT”) was decreased from six-tenths of one percent (6/10 of 1%) to one-tenths of one percent (1/10 of 1%) of the gross selling price or gross value in money of the shares of stock sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed. As such, and in compliance with the attached PSE Memo, please note that beginning July 1, 2025, the Stock Transaction Tax on your equities selling transactions will be lowered from 0.60% to 0.10% of your selling proceeds. Just as we shared in our previous update, the Stock Transaction Tax (STT) cut is now confirmed and officially taking effect on July 1, 2025! That’s just ₱1 in tax for every ₱1,000 sold, instead of ₱6, an 83% drop in trading tax! GoTyme Bank has launched a new stock trading feature in its mobile app, allowing users to buy and sell shares listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. Many people have avoided stock trading due to account setup steps and using different apps.
