                    [Summary] => After a series of tax credit scams that cost the government over P5 billion in foregone revenues a year, the Department of Finance (DOF) said  that its controversial one-stop-shop has cut down tax credits by as much as 80 percent since 1998.


The One Stop Shop Inter-Agency Tax Credit and Duty Drawback Center (OSS Center) reported yesterday that the clean-up of tax credit certificate issuances has reduced tax credits to an average of P2.8 billion a year.

Involved on the discussions are the Office of the Ombudsman and  the Revenue Integrity Protection Service (RIPS) under the Department of Finance.


The effort was spurred by recent problems with informants who ended up being harassed and accused after calling attention to irregularities in government.
