Alcohol tax to raise P237-B in 5 years

A PROPOSAL by Senator Manny Pacquiao to increase the excise tax on alcohol products will raise additional revenues of almost P237 billion over a five-year period and at the same time help reduce excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks or binge drinking that is linked to vehicular crash accidents, domestic abuse and other crimes.

Finance Undersecretary Karl Kendrick Chua said that like the proposed hike in cigarette taxes, increasing the excise tax levied on alcohol products will help close the P40-billion funding gap in the Universal Health Care (UHC) program.

Pacquiao's Senate Bill (SB) No. 2197 will raise around P32.3 billion in the first year of its implementation in 2019, and P40 billion in 2020; P47.4 billion in 2021, P54.6 billion in 2022 and another P62.4 billion in 2023, for a total of P236.6 billion, according to Chua.

In endorsing the bill, Chua said computations done by the DOF's Strategy, Economics and Results Group show that the inflationary impact of increasing the excise tax on alcohol products under the measure would only be 0.1 percentage points. “If inflation is, let’s say, 3.2 percent this year as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas projects, then the additional inflation will be 0.1, so 3.3 percent,” Chua said.

Health Undersecretary Rolando Domingo said higher alcohol excise taxes would help curb binge drinking, which often leads to vehicular accidents and the commission of crimes. (With a report from Mindanao Examiner.)
