The Philippine Economic Zone Authority Board changes its tune after a 'cordial' meeting and now backs the bill seeking to rationalize tax perks.

PEZA is hoping that its proposed increase of its current gross income earned tax regime from 5% to 7% will be considered in Citira, instead of the corporate income tax rate, in order to retain the one-stop shop of PEZA for enhanced ease of doing business in ecozones.

A fixed 10-year or 15-year transition period to be extended to the locators on a per project basis to provide for a common sunset period considering the usual term for the end of life of products and useful life of equipment. Recognition of locators' indirect/constructive exports as part of export sales since inter-zone sales create local value-adding and backward linkages.
