Senate panel starts probe on road user’s tax

THE Senate public works committee has commenced a probe on the multibillion-peso collection from the Motor Vehicle User’s Charge (MVUC) to determine whether the government agencies that have been receiving the cited revenues are spending them properly.

Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., chairperson of the said panel, directed the Road Board, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to submit to the committee a detailed breakdown of MVUC expenditures.
