what does tax reform mean for me
Tax reform is about simplifying the tax code and lowering taxes on beneficial activities while reducing tax leakages, or loss of revenue, and raising taxes on harmful activities. Hereâs what TRAIN does towards that end. First, the reform increases the income tax exemption threshold and adjusts the income tax rates and tax brackets to ensure that Filipinos will have higher disposable income. It is a realization that the economy cannot grow and prosper by squeezing out taxes from the middle class.
