House approves estate tax amnesty extension
By a vote of 259-0, the House of Representatives approved on Monday a measure extending the estate tax amnesty, which is one month away from its initial due, for another two years. House Bill 7909, approved on final reading, seeks to amend the Tax Amnesty Act to extend coverage and period of availing of the estate tax amnesty from 15 June this year to 14 June 2025. The House-passed legislation aims to ease taxpayers' financial burdens and make up for lost time in their estate tax settlement obligations, which were hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic's multiple lockdowns. The measure was approved by the House ways and means panel, chaired by Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, on 25 April. The Tax Amnesty Act, signed on 14 February 2019 by then-President Rodrigo Duterte, provides taxpayers with a one-time opportunity to settle their tax obligations through an estate amnesty program that offers reasonable tax relief to estates with outstanding estate tax liabilities. On 30 June, he signed RA 11569, which amended Section 6 of RA 11213, extending the estate tax amnesty until 14 June 2023. Proponents of House Bill 7909 pushed for a two-year extension to account for those still struggling to meet the documentary requirements due to the pandemic disruptions.
