TAX CONCLUSION

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a tremendous effect on the world's economy. Several

businesses are struggling to stay afloat even up to this very moment and doing whatever they can

right now to justify costs and preserve any cash surpluses they have to bridge the future cash

flow needs of their business. Across the globe, governments are stepping in to try and limit the

impact of the pandemic by providing financial support in numerous ways from direct cash

payments through to the deferral of tax payments. Taxation is profoundly affected by the

pandemic. Covid-19 changed taxation as it plays a great role at this present pandemic stage in

helping to sustain universal access to essential goods and services through any support measures

the government provided. Philippine vulnerability to COVID-19 and its economic impact is very

different across social groups.

The Philippine government’s victory with tax collection means a secure commercial

future for the country & a better economic outcome for the country. The whole nation relies on

the BIR's bold commitment to provide the revenues needed to support our people and push our

country forward towards a strong economic recovery. Tax collection in the Philippines was never

been easy for the administration. But with the help of all the concerned sectors of the

governments, government officials, and the business tycoons it is believed that everything will

be set and issues can be resolved when working together as the BIR’s tagline for their tax

campaign for 2021, Sama-Sama sa Hamon ng Panahon, Buwis ko, Para sa Pilipino”.

Despite the global crisis faced, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) was able to surpass

its collection goal in 2020 through the strict monitoring of tax compliance. With that being said,

our government has been efficient and effective in implementing this program which merely

focuses on tax collection. As a matter of fact, a big portion of these tax collected in 2020 was
from the Philippine Offshore Gaming Organization (POGO) which is ₱7.18Billion in which all

revenue was used to fund all the various types of assistance under BAYANIHAN ACT 2

(Bayanihan to Recover as One Act).

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic made the business owners adapt and innovate based

on their respective resources and according to regulatory guidelines that apply to all taxpayers

most affected by COVID-19. Our government needs more funds to support all the needs of its

countrymen. Hence, some high income-generating sectors like PAGCOR, Casinos, i.e., allowed

to operate for they can generate quick funds and the government can collect them thru taxes. All

the recommended safety health protocols and all other restrictions were followed to ensure the

safety of the staff and the people and to prevent the spread of the virus as well. Pandemic put a

stop to the year-on-year steady growth of the said gaming industries in the Philippines and it

calls for a quick, effective, and brilliant measure in survival. Hence, it is a win-win scenario

between the government and the stakeholders.

Hence, taxes will play a role in shaping the “new normal” and taxation must play a role in

future macroeconomic stimulus to regain growth. Along with affecting equality, fundamental

shifts in social behaviors make the aftermath of the crisis a good moment to “green” our tax

systems. COVID-19 actually opens opportunities for moving more conclusively towards

sustainable and inclusive growth. Progress and prosperity open to all peoples and nations is an

idea well worth pursuing. Knowing that this pandemic will sit still a little bit longer, we as

responsible citizens have to give our share and helps promote the programs of the government.

Tax avoidance, tax evasions and all other bad practices in taxation should not be done for these

are unfair means and must be avoided. Let us all support and push for a clean, fair, and just tax

system in the Philippines.
