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.

How did you do it?

That's the question you get from the people around you. 

That's when you first found a solution to a problem, discovered something useful for everyone, thought of new and more efficient process for work or business, overall. At work, regardless of what we do, this is every team member wants to do and in business wants their employees do.

We don't always encounter such an experience. 

This alone is already a problem. Even if they are working, someone with a good eye would easily spot it. 

In every organization, one can easily detect a pattern.

We, however, find that what we've learned and done would work anywhere and so we apply the same thing. We also find not long enough that this will become a problem, for employees to work long hours without any improvement at all and for business paying the price for not doing it right. 

Then, again, you have to use a good eye to even see it. Who would not be happy when everyone is clocking for long hours, isn't that a hard work? But what works doesn't necessarily equate to being effective, which can be replicated.

Efficiency, and other effective methodologies, have become more of a personal duty and this is only going to work for as long as that person is around.

No matter the reason for a business not trying to be efficient is not their employees' concern either, or the management's, and it's true especially if everyone is getting what they expected. That's usual.

How should we do it and be more efficient then and how do we retain it for a long time even after we are gone? Or, without getting off topic, how do we remain committed and consistent to creating positive results in our work, and as an aggregate, across the business? Result and outcome won't always make positive, we have to remember this. Can we see what's happening? 

We always get the same question from clients, from C-suite down and we always answer them, we can show you, you and your team can learn, your business can build and retain it without cost at all. Good for everyone and our businesses, really, especially now that life is only going with high-technology and so the relevant information that we ourselves must know.

Businesses, and even households, should make sure they have the right information, they know where to find them, to do their chores properly, and not be discouraged by painful experience of not being able to confidently deal with it, if not some failures trying to make use of technology from the past.

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.

iclassed privacy policy, unbelievable at first sight

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all? At the end of the day, you should still be looking at those information and make sure you did, and will, do well. I am expecting a lot from you here, you said so yourself!"

That's our responsibility, as is made popular by cloud computing, and we don't need to be in a cloud.

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...
