The Tax Collectors, the Taxpayers, the Tax Evaders?

Statistically Speaking...

The Tax Collectors, the Taxpayers,
the Tax Evaders?

A balanced budget was targeted initially by government for 2010, then advanced to 2008 when things got rosier than expected; but recently, Pres. Arroyo was quoted to have hinted that government was unlikely to meet the goal this year. In 2006, the Philippines received commendations from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for fiscal management, with FitchRatings upgrading its outlook on the country’s foreign currency and local currency ratings from negative to stable. At present, the rice price crisis and the unrelenting surge in oil prices pose big threats to the sustainability of past gains. What does the future hold for us? The efficiency and effectiveness of tax collection, the honesty and sense of responsibility of the taxpayers and the social conscience of tax evaders will surely all be a factor.
