The House Committee on Ways and Means overwhelmingly approved on Wednesday a bill seeking to reduce the corporate income tax rate from 30 percent to 20 percent and rationalize the grant of fiscal incentives to investors and locators.

Voting 27 for and 2 against, the House panel, chaired by Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, passed House Bill 313, the Corporate Income Tax and Incentive Rationalization Act Bill. The measure is the second package of the Duterte administration’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program .

It was Nueva Ecija Rep. Estrellita Suansing, vice chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means and one of the authors of the bill, who moved for the approval of the bill for plenary consideration. The CITIRA bill was approved, a day after the Salceda panel passed House Bill 1026, which seeks to raise the excise tax on alcohol products. The proposed imposition of higher excise tax rates on alcohol products is the Package 2 Plus B of the Duterte administration’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program .

The measure also seeks to remove the option for corporations, including resident foreign corporations, to avail of the 15 percent gross income tax and subject corporate taxpayers who enjoy preferential rates, to the 30 percent CIT or the adjusted CIT.
