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 how is holistic in technology

Everything that technology does cannot be fathomable, say the entirety of such in an organization's initiative, without the how. It demonstrates, either technology has a good start, is made effective or bad including the following: 1. Leadership,  2. Design,  3. Operation,  4. Personnel.  Regardless where the technology is being utilized for the organization and its stakeholders, the how can tell what's going on and may happen.

Dreaded diseases, exalted festivities and laws

We are joined not to, as well as discouraged by our precocious and emphatic family members, friends, colleagues and even more from our leaders, or the laws and enforcers that sanctions, with our collective efforts to gather at full-capacity or fill our place crowded nowadays. Even without laws we can still see and understand what needs to be done when it goes against our belief to being presentable to others, our freedom, pride including but not limited to faith. With all the sudden accessories of the face it might make some allergic and defiant. A bare face could be the only way to the detriment of the people around us.  When we are requested to be present in parties, not to enjoy, and we have to avoid being overly happy like the days we have been accustomed to before for the sake of rectitude. The manner is to show respect to the people who needs to celebrate holidays especially for those who have been afflicted by this pandemic. These people are our grandparents, siblings, child...

It's dynamically unexpected what customers are saying back

If you are a seller and provider, did you ever try to understand why your customers are saying something else about your products or services? In our business or marketing strategies, we never had any understanding why customers cannot directly say what we want to hear from them. It is always to the contrary. Isn't it? That's the fact about customers, those who knew better what they need and what needs to be done with their technology acquisition. But did you at least know why we always don't get what we want from them? The answer is simple. We didn't deliver on their expectations. But there is an authoritative notion about how we, as sellers and providers, can fulfill their needs that we must be certain no matter what. Agree? Can you zero in customers' complaints and how fast? It's not the aesthetics, the processes that our system require that we have to follow including but not limited to the very tedious structure one would use that makes customers not excite...
