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.

The IT Practice

It was electronics, next computers--then functions and uses came up from everywhere--and there were personal computers, servers, connectivity, business applications, information, analytics, artificial intelligence including smart machines and not ending with smart cities. What have you?
 
Take everything, and eliminate your biases of a certain product, if you are or will be gearing into IT Practice. Imagine high technology companies, these are the technology manufacturers themselves and create another businesses within it, that tries to compartment their people to deal only in a very specific technology or product. They are creating a team or their people to be limited of the extensions required for a technology to be even more useful with existing systems for the sake of their customers. Begin by learning the bits-and-ticks of both the business and IT. If already a practitioner then extend the learning either if not both of these areas. For business, observe and take things that matter with the realities of IT or simply for computing and automation purposes. Don't try to filter information. Be liberated as this is discuss to people, whoever they are, may be it’s the boss or colleagues. For IT must be for everyone, end-users including practitioners must also realize that it will make their lives easier. Not only the few that made IT available now. Not only for scientists and engineers that created as well as Europeans and Americans that invented early electronic devices that made up the computers and connectivity that we very well know facilitating our work beginning decades ago. Thanks to the market these technologies will continue to take advantage of our businesses and activities to advance further the opportunity of information technology--the sprawling technological extensions it created--and practice behind it. It is also for all the governments, businesses and individuals, now more than obvious with social media. Unfortunately, the experience is a stark contrast to social media and not so with our own business-computing or enterprise systems. Together the stakeholders continue to bring the technology to a greater heights and enable more opportunities for people regardless of their business and activity. It shortens the path to, and delivers fast on, communication. Provides better business facilities and smarter market insights. Makes life easier at the workplace. Contributes savings for the business and the people.
 
The practice in IT is not at all viewed the same way. Practitioners especially have their own specialization which then create wrong impression for their contribution in their company if they are given the chance or try to cover other or broader responsibilities. Just like other disciplines, these are known experts in their industries even regulators, but then caused enough to the past economic collapses. Nowadays, many businesses are not still definitive of their need with IT. Take that as an example why companies, local ones especially, couldn't even establish their basic technology platform.
 
IT and the practice itself is hard core on computing, information, connectivity and enterprise system—enables the technology to fit with the need of the business. The goal, how it was acquired, implemented and managed (AIM) makes the business and activity different from the crowd of technology adapters. These are those who simply copy what their counterparts are doing simply by paying a little bit more for a prospective employee to jump ship. A scenario that cannot be denied. Companies really lives within their industry they merely replicate off-the-shelf solutions recommended for them by their loyal or accredited vendor. They work and missing just a bit. The productivity output is not also different from each other. It can be done better.

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...
