“Sa pamamagitan ng Republic Act No. 10699 na pinagtibay noong 2015 sa panahon ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III, nagbigay ng tax exemption ang Kongreso sa mga napanalunan ng mga pambansang atleta.”
What Vera Files found
Ang Republic Act No. 7549, na pinagtibay noong Mayo 22, 1992, sa panunungkulan ng yumaong Pangulong Corazon C. Aquino, ang nag exempt sa pagbabayad ng buwis sa “lahat ng mga premyo at parangal” na ipinagkaloob sa mga atleta na lumalahok sa lokal o internasyonal na mga kumpetisyon. Ang parehong exemption ay ibinigay din sa mga donor ng premyo na obligado sana na magbayad ng donor’s tax.
