DOF orders LGUs to stop imposing taxes on WFH BPO employees

Local government units (LGUs) can no longer collect taxes from employees who are working from home, as mandated by The Department of Finance (DOF).

Finance undersecretary Antonette Tionko said that it had come to DOF’s attention that local government units (LGUs) had been collecting local business tax from business process outsourcing (BPO) employees in work-from-home set-up.  

Tinoko said that DOF found out that some of these BPO workers are being required to secure a mayor’s permit.
