Behind the scenes of the Philippines

I found a rare vending machine in the Philippines!
The price is higher than Japan.

I’m going to the Philippines next month too.
I’m excited because so many people are planning to travel with me this time (^^)

We also plan to attack three other countries in March!
I’m glad that there seems to be more and more stories to share with everyone☆

Now, let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes circumstances of the Philippines, which is also mentioned in the title.
Every country has taxes. Japan is expensive, isn’t it?
Of course, there are taxes in the Philippines as well. The most common tax is VAT (value added tax), which is a 12% tax on basically everything.

Among them, there is a category called “income tax”.
Everyone pays this in Japan too.
It is said that the majority of people in the Philippines do not pay this income tax. . !
The reason is that in the Philippines, banks are not connected to each other like in Japan, and the country is not subject to national tax.
As a result, the unpaid income taxes of the people have ballooned to an enormous amount, and there is no prospect of a solution to the problem.It feels very gray.

However, it seems that if you do not pay this income tax, it may be collected in a lump sum after 5-10 years.
It’s been so long since I forgot…

It seems that there is nothing better than paying the taxes you have to pay in any country.
