HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by REP. EVELINA G., ESCUDERO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill is being filed to achieve a more equalized distribution of revenues, especially
since most principal places of business are located in highly urbanized cities in the country like
those in Metro Manila.

The current law on local taxation as provided for in the Local Government Code already
recognizes and imposes the sifus rule on taxation, however, several amendments must be
proposed. And this is in the area of tax sharing between and among local government units
where the principal place of business, branch or sales outlet, factory, project office, plant or
plantation is located.

‘A hundred percent share of all sales or transactions to Local Government Units (LGUs) is
proposed so long as such sales or transactions occur in the LGU concerned. This practically
expunges the present thirty percent share of the LGU where the principal place of business is
located.

It is submitted that with this bill, the constitutional mandate of making LGUs autonomous
and self-sustaining government bodies shall be realized

Thus, the early passage of this measure is sought.
