Philippines Supreme Court Upholds Law Granting VAT Refund To Foreign Tourists

Remember the law granting value-added tax refund (VAT refund) to foreign tourists signed a few years ago? That law was challenged and recently the Supreme Court of the Philippines upheld the constitutionality of Republic Act 12079 (the act creating a VAT refund mechanism for non-resident tourists), according to a news report by GMA News.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

The Supreme Court (SC) has upheld the constitutionality of a law that grants value-added tax (VAT) refunds on select local purchases by non-resident foreign tourists.

In a 30-page decision, the SC En Banc dismissed a petition challenging the validity of Republic Act 12079, or an act creating a VAT refund mechanism for non-resident tourists, adding Section 112-A to the National Internal Revenue Code.

“Granting VAT refund to foreign tourists was not arbitrarily done. It is a policy decision based on legitimate state interests, i.e. the need to remain competitive as a global tourist destination,” the SC said.

“In fine, foreign tourists may be granted privileges and benefits that are not extended to Filipino citizens, so as long as these distinctions are based on reasonable and justifiable classifications, as in here,” it added.

According to the SC, the VAT refund applies to goods brought from duly accredited stores and taken out of the country within 60 days from purchase. The goods must be priced at least P3,000 per transaction.

Meanwhile, the SC said Section 5 of the law’s implementing rules and regulations limit the refund to retail and tangible goods, including clothing, apparel, electronics, gadgets, jewelry, accessories, souvenirs, food or non-food consumables, and other items intended for personal use.

The petitioner, however, argued that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of equal protection as it excludes Filipino citizens.

For its part, the SC said equal protection does not require identical treatment for all persons.

It said the act also distinguishes foreign tourists from Filipino citizens.

According to the SC, the VAT refund system follows the basic rule of VAT that goods are taxed where they are consumed. If the goods are consumed in the Philippines, they remain subject to Philippine VAT.

Meanwhile, the SC added that VAT refund for foreign tourists is a well-established international practice.

“The Philippines is among the last few countries in Asia to adopt such a system. Our Asian neighbors, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Japan have long implemented this VAT refund mechanism for foreign tourists,” it said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you agree with the Supreme Court’s decision on the law about VAT refund for foreign tourists? Apart from the VAT refund for foreign tourists, what problems that plagued the Philippine tourism industry should the government solve this year?

@metin

Good quote. Chomsky has some keen insights.

I'm not an accountant or a lawyer, but that won't keep me from offering some related opinions here. Sorry this will be slightly US-centric, though I won't be surprised if there are echoes elsewhere.

I assume he's talking about tax deductibility of advertising for business as an ordinary and necessary business expense.

There are those of us who think that corporations should not be "legal people", trying to get rights that were created for people, not corporations. The flip side of this that gets far less attention is that corporations have rights people do not.

The "ordinary and necessary business expense" means that there is an activity fundamental to the core of the existence of a company's interests. The scrutiny is MUCH higher for individuals, who may feel their own core identity needs some advertising, EVEN IF it is not a business.

And so ordinary and necessary expenses of simply being alive are not deductible by human people, which seems an abomination. It's ridiculous. For example, interest on loans including high interest credit cards is not deductible by ordinary humans.

It used to be, but that right went away. It is a privilege of the rich now. You can deduct interest related to loans secured against your house. That sounds good, said that way, if you think it's intended to incentivize you to invest in your house. But an implication is that if I buy a pleasure yacht and secure the loan against my house, I can deduct the interest. But if I make ACTUAL upgrades to my home and pay for them on a credit card that is NOT secured against my home, I cannot deduct it.

So, back to the quote, we pay in other ways that are related but more subtle. We are told and eventually come to believe that the "ordinary and necessary expense" thing is a strong argument for justifying that OF COURSE such expenses cannot be seen as "profit". And yet we are routinely taxed in our ordinary lives in ways that are OBVIOUSLY not profit to ourselves, that are obviously taxes on our existence, and that is apparently not obviously something we should get as a reason not to be taxed.

Related reading: My 2009 essay Credit Cards: A Tax on "Being Poor", where I argue that this kind of disparity creates "double taxation" on private individuals.
