                    [Summary] => Clark Development Corp. (CDC) president Antonio Ng has expressed apprehension that the continued delay in the passage of remedial legislation on the restoration of incentives for locators at the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) would be overtaken by a final and executory ruling by the Supreme Court.


In a press briefing, Ng warned that Clark locators are becoming "angry and frustrated" over the continued delay in the passage of legislation restoring the grant of incentives to locators in the CSEZ.

                    [Summary] => The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) is seeking a clear ruling from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on the exemption of the freeport’s locators from the payment of the value-added tax (VAT).


According to SBMA Administrator Armand Arreza, the SBMA’s interpretation of its charter exempts its locators from the payment of the 12-percent VAT.


As a freeport, Arreza pointed out that locators are exempted from  these taxes and import duties.
