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.

There are those who adapts faster and those who do wait-and-see what and which technology may bring to their bottom line. Either way, nothing is bad with the two approaches as long as purchases will not go to waste and without problems. Meaning they will be setup, provisioned to facilitate, or simply helping, operate the business. Resource is crucial in business decisions regardless if its about capital allocation or technology investment. Which resource, in order to do it, would do the trick. To start, why not acknowledge that businesses, or societies, have 'come to terms with', and then 'make the best of', technology. Then realities will come out and current resources, old or new, can work on them, no fuzz.
