[Title] => Defer tax increase, MBC tells Makati City
[Summary] => Unless Makati City wants Taguig or Pasig City to be the country’s next business capital, it should scrap plans to increase business tax rates at least for the next two years, the Makati Business Club (MBC) said yesterday.
Pushing for a tax hike will only force big businesses to transfer operations to other locations which can offer lower tax rates, it added.
The group is now calling on city government officials to reconsider its proposed increases in local taxes and defer any such moves to beyond 2006.
