Dismayado ang Accredited Service Providers Association of PAGCOR (ASPAP) sa ilang personalidad na bumabatikos sa hindi umano pagbabayad ng buwis ng POGO Service Providers (PSPs).
“I just wish people will use this time to unite and help one another,” pahayag ni Atty. Margarita Gutierrez, tagapagsalita ng ASPAP.
Giit nito, dapat munang alamin ng publiko ang mga impormasyon ukol sa pagbabayad ng buwis ng mga PSP.
“People should get their facts straight and study the laws involved before making comments as our industry is as essential as the others in terms of revenue generation,” ani Gutierrez.
Tinawag nitong “unfair” ang pagbabatikos nang hindi nalalaman ang tunay na istorya.
“Members of our organization are paying the correct taxes to government as pre-requisite to resuming operations. It is unfair to put us down without knowing the real story. Instead, we should try to contribute what we can in big or small ways to bring our economy back on track,” sinabi pa nito.
Samantala, naglabas din ng pahayag ang ASPAP sa panukalang buwisan ang online sellers.
Nilinaw ni Gutierrez na hindi na bago ang pagpapataw ng buwis sa online sellers.
Base kasi aniya sa tax laws, ang magbabayad lamang ng income tax ay ang online sellers na kumikita ng higit P250,000 sa loob ng isang taon.
“ASPAP members reiterate our unequivocal commitment to pay the appropriate taxes imposed by the government prior to the limited reopening of online gaming operations. This is consistent with our assurances to fully support the country’s recovery from the crushing pandemic,” dagdag pa ni Gutierrez.
