More sin taxes govt’s priority

The Department of Finance (DoF) will prioritize the passage of additional “sin” taxes under the Package 2 Plus B of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP), Secretary Carlos Dominguez 3rd said late last week.

“I want to get the ones that have revenue impact out of the way because the revenue measures we have here are to primarily fund the Universal Health Care (UHC),” Dominguez told reporters when asked about the DoF’s order of priority on the passage of the remaining proposals under the CTRP.
