Philippine tax for digital services

Soon we will be paying more for digital services, even internet identifier like domain names can be included, and that's a definitive VAT. In PH it's equivalent to 12%. Although, we still have to see invoice for domain names registration and renewal fees being added with VAT. You should be getting reminders from your local and international service providers to key-in your tax details, if you haven't yet done so. We must say, this is especially for those who had to directly acquire digital services with the source and not through local resellers. If you've been dealing with local resellers, your digital services may probably have been subjected with, and had added, VAT included in your payment ever since. You should be, but you have to check it.  For online local retailers, you may have been VAT registered and paying your taxes with or without that digital tax. Don't take this as an advice and ascertain it with your accountant to be sure.

Know thy time

It's a statement and work of Peter Drucker. He's the management practice master, the dean of the profession and the discipline in general according to his works, literature and practitioners themselves. He's behind the notable Non-profit's Drucker Prize for which he defined innovation as change that creates new dimension of performance, which means very big about time in human activity.

Leaders of all organizations, in business, health, education, technology including but not limited to innovation, except military which may vary in high degree for some reasons, knows about management and why time is the best argument for humans to not forget when doing their job.

In consulting, generally, this is probably the main reason why their outcome is crucial and that their fees are not that cheap. They do understand their job, the value they create and contribute to the organization they work with. They can also be fully aware to the broader aspect of business which is the subject of their work regardless of the specifics of a given chore.

However, fees may have been always at the bottom of the agenda. On top is the solution itself. That's what they are for and as far as we can see.

They know what they are doing and also the variables around their work. They dislike failures in their outcomes and no excuses if at all. They just deliver and have it verified, always in tandem, with their work and as they progress. The intervening ruler will flash in red if there is mistake. Which can be corrected immediately.

With IT the goal can be made even more precise. While many says IT is complex and it is so only due to human differences in their ability to handle their own business which is mostly drawn out by outside factors. Some would even equate medicine's specialization to IT's specific practice area. It's completely different, they are linked up and integrated. Medicine is not except when patients health conditions have already developed complications.

IT can be addressed right away with the job at hand. No need history. IT practitioners education of solid fundamentals would show why something is wrong with a business application or the entire enterprise systems are in complete disarray.

An IT practitioner that doesn't have any excuse but to move forward and work and solve problems, will have no issue at all except for things that are out of its control. Organizations or clients need to understand this very well. Of course, with the help of its IT practitioner or IT consultnat. It shows why with the 8Ps we created when we began IT consulting, and then it helps how our training, its pedagogy, must be developed differently from the mainstream at a later part of our enterprise. There are solutions and services to explore, a trial and error scenario for many, which can result into expenses which, and time, are two important resources not to waste. Time can also say if a measurement being used for a certain activity is effective and how major resources are being used up, for the existence, or to support the continuing growth, of the business itself. It also states very loud about where an organization is now and then with respect to innovation, business systems and/or IT maturity, its market and not ending with competition.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...
