Delayed tax bill passage won’t affect infra rollout

THE head of the Senate economic affairs committee over the weekend said delay in passage of the proposed Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act (Train) will have little effect on the ambitious infrastructure program of the Duterte administration.

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, chairman of the committee, noted that the proposed tax reform measure being pushed by the government is only one component in the P8-trillion “Build Build Build” program.
